Couple #26 - Love In the Time of Childhood

Melissa and her military man met for the very first time when she was just 7-years old. He was her step-dad's nephew and, although his family moved around the country quite a bit, his and Melissa's mutual interest in one another was ignited with every encounter. However, it was not until the age of fifteen, when they were dance partners in her stepsister's "quinceanera," that these two children became close. With his family's move back to Miami, the young lovebirds not only become close, but they also became inseparable.

After years of moving, dating others, and the typical turbulences that accompany most adolescent years, these two were finally united here in San Diego, at Camp Pendleton. On September 12th, 2006, they married. There was no horse and carriage, or other memorable morsels to remember their commitment ceremony by. Rather, six-months later, Melissa was pregnant and her husband was shipped off for two back-to-back deployments. Finally, last summer, he returned and the happy family has been living together as a single unit since. Melissa is now hoping to win the wedding that she has always dreamed of. Good luck to couple #26!!
