Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
We met during a production of “Ragtime the Musical” in 2019. Christiön was able to tell Melissa was NOT ok at rehearsal one day (he was the only one). That led to LONG conversations, a deep friendship, & a relationship. After dating for 2 years, we got engaged, then married in 2022 (EVERYONE was in costume). We still share a love for theatre, and even coach other performers together.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One favorite is definitely our honeymoon in Florida at Disney & Universal! We had matching/coordinated outfits for each day. We had a blast exploring the parks together! ALSO, any show we’ve been able to be in or work together is full of great memories! Godspell & Cinderella are probably at the top of the list! BUT the birth of our daughter in 2024 is a SPECIAL one! And we have so many amazing memories with her already! (Especially all our matching outfits & family dance parties!)
What would you do with $20,000?Pay off student loan debt to work towards building a stable financial foundation and get closer to purchasing our family home to raise our daughter in.
