That\u2019s love.<\/p>\n<p>Melody House, 26, and Mathew Falcinella, 28, met in a small WA country town while she was on a road trip from Melbourne. \u201cWe went on our first date to the closest cinema \u2013 two hours away,\u201d laughs Melody.<\/p>\n<p>But after just four weeks of dating, Mat fell ill and Melody stuck around to look after him. \u201cI spent days taking care of him, bringing him food and I remember thinking \u2018I hardly know this guy\u2019! At times I thought he didn\u2019t even like me\u2026but it turns out that he was just in too much pain to even speak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Mat had to have surgery he moved back to his parents\u2019 farm in Pemberton. They invited Melody to stay. \u201cHis mum said she could tell straight away we were soul mates,\u201d recalls Melody. \u201cSo I spent weeks on the lounge room floor with Mat while he slowly recovered. A year later they moved to Perth and in January last year they welcomed a baby boy, Louie Hunter. \u201cHe has only brought Mathew and I closer together now we have someone else to share all our love with,\u201d smiles Melody.<\/p>\n<p>The pair were married at their winter wedding on June 1, 2014 in Melbourne at The Dome followed by a reception at <a title=\"Grand Hyatt Melbourne\"
