Melissa & Scott

Our Story

We met back in 2002 at a friends house in Gardena, CA. From August 2nd 2002 we have become inseperable. We have been through quite a bit in the last 7 years. We got our first puppy "Monty" together in January 2003 and he has been our little guy ever since. There is no where Monty doesn't go.
In 2006 we moved from the South Bay out to Murrieta because Scott was lucky enough to get a City job with the City of Lake Elsinore. We packed up and started our new life out in the desert. In 2007 we were very excited on the purchase of our new home, it's absolutely beautiful and all ours.
We got engaged on November 26th 2007 and the planning started very soon after!!!!
