Melissa and Russell initially met online and then solidified their connection at Honu Coffee in Newhall, CA. Melissa was born and raised in Los Angeles, and Russell was born in Redding, CA and raised all over Northern CA. Melissa has been an RN for 18 years and Russell has been working on F-18s for nearly 15. They enjoy filling their weekends with junior league girl's soccer, spending time with friends, and great food and drink. Opposites definitely do attract, but don't always compliment each other. Russell and Melissa are perfectly complimentary and raise each other up with their respective talents, love of music, and passion for adventure. We can't wait to begin the next stage of our lives with our families and friends!
