Melanie and Eric met their freshman year of college and remained friends throughout their 4 years of college. But, everything changed after graduation when Melanie helped Eric land a job at the best restaurant in Kirksville, MO — Colton’s Steakhouse. That summer they started spending a lot more time together and realized they were the perfect match. In August of 2013 they made it official and kicked off the next several years of wonderful experiences and adventures that they would have together. Melanie’s energetic and passionate personality has been the perfect compliment to Eric’s calm, levelheaded demeanor. They truly bring out the best in each other and cannot wait to celebrate their love and begin the next chapter of their story surrounded by their friends and family.
