How did your love story begin?

Marcella and Matt's love story began online in 2005, before online was a thing. Matt was looking for love & Marcella was a part of a catfish situation to help her friend uncover a cheating boyfriend. Her friend told her there was a lot of bites on "her" page. Marcella spoke to one guy and one guy only. Matt! After realizing they had already been friends on the age old site, "Myspace" the two have been inseparable ever sense. The rest was history.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Aside from our crazy halloweens, if we had to pick one in the collection of 20 yrs, we would have to agree on the journey and joy of finding out we were pregnant with our daughter Mollie. After 13 miscarriages & 1 ectopic pregnancy, there was nothing like that smile on our Dr.'s face sharing in our excitment. The tears we all shed. 2.5 years later our Dr.s said they were gonna highlight our forms in blue because she felt it was gonna be a boy & sure enough, Mason, our 2nd miracle was born.

What would you do with $20,000?

Easy! Take our kids to Disneyland & fix our 1970's bathroom sinks. We bought our first home in Nov. 2019. After finishing NEEDED repairs, our family of 4 moved in March 2020, just 1 new report from the world was declared shut down due to the pandemic. The two were forced to close their successful business of Balloon Animals/Decor, & face painting & Matt woke after his first night in their new home to a video HR meeting letting him go from his 9-5. It's been a fine balance & struggle since.
