Mark and Melissa met in March of 2005, and have been falling deeper in love every day!! When we first met, Melissa was a foster mom of 4 children, and as busy as could be. Mark jumped right in and became a part of our crazy and choatic family like he had always been there!
We were blessed with the birth of our Daughter, Makailah Leslie in September of 2006, and the adoptions of Jonathan and Alexis Leslie, finalized in November of 2007.
Mark proposed to Melissa on February 16th, 2007 at San Gregorio Beach at sunset. He was nervous, sweaty and shaky but his heart was committed to Melissa and our children and he wanted to show that to the world! Of course, she said yes!!
There are things in life that when meant to happen, will shine through no matter what struggles, hard times or obstacles that may be there, and that has definitely been proved in our lives. We have been through births, deaths, struggle and heartache, laughs, tears, ups and downs but with God's help, our love will always outweigh the odds...

Our Wedding will take place at The Corinthian Center in San Jose,CA. On January 18, 2009 at 4pm, surrounded by our family and friends.

Mark and Melissa are so blessed by the unending love, support and faith our family and friends have shown us. We are so excited to have you join us on this special day of our lives!!!
