With the exception of Celina, Melissa is the most important person in my life. I met her working a Arby's back in '92. She was interviewing for a cashier position and I was running the slicer by myself as usual. She began work a few days later. We hit it off right away. Of course, I swept her off her feet. Haha She wouldn't agree with that, but who's creating this site. I am. Anyway, we hit it off none-the-less.

In 93' we moved into an apartment on Goodman in NCH together. Living with someone will really test a relationship. We had our up's and down's. Overall, we had more up's. I had asked her to marry me and got her an engagement ring not too long after we moved out together. We didn't set a date until October of '95. We decided we were going to get married as soon as possible. Dec. 02, 1995 became our wedding date.

The wedding was very simple. I wore a nice suit and Melissa wore a beautiful cream colored dress. She also wore her hair down the way I like it. She was; I mean she is so sweet. Haha I will never forget the way she looked standing across from me on our wedding day. She was so lovely. That was the happiest day of my life up to that moment. Only family and a couple of close friends attended. Afterwards we held the "reception" at Perkins. Actually it was just dinner and who ever wanted to come could come if they wanted to. We spent our honeymoon at Wildwood Inn. That was a good time. If you want all the details, I will be creating another site where you will only have to pay $2.95 a month. I'll keep you horn-dogs posted. It was a wonderful couple of days.

Melissa is a huge part of my life now. I couldn't imagine life without her. I know I don't tell her nearly enough, but I love her very much and think of how much I love her everyday. She is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with now and forever.

 I love you, Melissa
