Being an avid escape room fan, she wanted to stay and play another game, but Murray had other plans in store for her. Davies was completely ecstatic about the “new” jeep and personalized game. So what was in the final safe of the escape room? In it were the keys to the jeep Murray had bought Davies a year prior, but he secretly had it painted pink with the jeep waiting for her outside when they exited. I built an escape room from scratch with all the clues, the artwork, and the things on the tables based on Melyssa’s life.”ĭavies enthusiastically adds, “he coordinated it with my friends to show up when we showed up.” Bouquet by: A Cottage Gardner We drove to her favorite restaurant “Nifty Fifty’s” a diner outside of Philadelphia and there was a booth just for us with balloons and a sign outside that read ‘Happy Birthday Melyssa.’ We then had her favorite lunch and afterwards drove to a location where I partnered with an escape room here in Princeton and redesigned the game to be specific to Melyssa. “Melyssa’s birthday was on Friday the 13 th of March and before everything shut down, I had planned the perfect day.

When asked about the background behind the painting, Murray shares an incredible story of a birthday full of surprises for Davies. Behind Murray, there is a portrait of Davies as a regal queen. With a solution driven mindset, when “Impractical Jokers” had to stop filming due to Covid-19, the guys teamed up with a new show, “Impractical Jokers Dinner Party” where they each film from their own homes at their dinner tables. Murray explains that with their relationship “everything feels like an adventure.” Davies then messaged Murray to let him know they were having a date night together when he returned home. She decided to blow up the giant bubble dome where she was able to place a couch, table, wine and of course their favorite boardgame Scrabble. “It was huge and really heavy, so I had to drag it out on the tractor from our garage and find a flat space in our yard to set it up,” Davies recalls. One afternoon while Murray was at work filming, Davies decided to set up a surprise for Murray with a bubble dome that a friend had sent from the registry. While the two did not have a formal wedding registry, they thought it would be fun to make one on Amazon with fun gifts that they would not expect to receive. Whether it is having an impromptu date in a bubble dome or spending time with their adorable pooch, Penny, the simplicity of their love is fun and full of optimism. Not necessarily with religion, but meaning the way we view life, the way we internalize things, and the way we express them externally,” Murray explains.ĭavies adds, “we have the same love language in terms of how we love each other and receive that love.” Sitting with the two, three days before their marriage vows officiated by best man and friend, Joe Gatto one of the four stars from “Impractical Jokers,” Murray and Davies describe what keeps their love so strong. It is that kind of love story that everyone dreams to experience in their lifetime.
