We fell in love the first time our eyes met. Now almost 20 years later, our love somehow feels even deeper and more intense.
We would like to thank you for supporting Melissa & Cassie in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
I am sure all couples feel fate somehow brought them to that specific place and time where their love story began and we are no different. It was my/Melissa’s first day at a new company and she was on a tour of the office, with stops at each leaders office to introduce myself. Cassie says she was sitting in her office and saw this flash of a woman who she thought was so beautiful she had to meet her…. and so she did.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We have so many funny and amazing memories shared as a couple, and also as a family, but our favorite happened not too long ago, 3+yrs to be exact. It is when Cassie planned an amazing trip to Sedona and proposed to Melissa.
What would you do with $20,000?About a year and half ago, we sold our home and decided to rent given Melissa had just been laid off from her 15+year career in financial services due to an “organizational transformation”. We are now very ready to find our forever home, so after taking the “honeymoon” we were unable to afford when we got married, a portion will go into a savings account for our first grandbaby due in few months (so excited!!) and the remaining will help by adding to our forever home fund!
