Love is Everything to Me.

Hello! I am so excited you are here!

If you are curious as to who I am, the short version is this: my great loves in life are my devastatingly handsome & witty husband, my cuddly dog Gunnar, the perfect (if not elusive) iTunes playlist, J.Crew, sarcasm, exclamation points and above all God.

If you want to know a little more about me or ask how to say my incredibly German last name, click on the Hello tab above or feel free to send me an email with questions, virtual hugs or professions of your undying love (I don't judge). I would love to hear from you.

i’m yours, melissa

It is a classic boy meets girl story with a modern twist. Witty banter and killer dance moves replaced batting eyelashes and hair tossing and a destiny-born Minneapolis pub crawl replaced the meet-cute at a park bench over matching sweaters but the notion was just as romantic. Boy meets girl and it’s love at first sight. And the rest? The rest is happily ever after.

To my dearest Kim & Nate. I just know everyone is falling a little bit in love with you as they look through your photos and see the smiles, the kisses and the looks you save only for each other. Thank you, thank you for allowing me into your lives and letting me see the authentic, real and mostly just awesome and laughter-filled love you have for each other. Give Spencer a kiss on the nose for me. xoxo










i’m yours, melissa
