Bright & Bold Celebration at Hidden Meadow & Barn

Keeley Susienka and Melina Lamer were introduced through a mutual friend who was carpooling with them to a concert. Sparks flew throughout the night, ending with the two exchanging numbers and planning a coffee date on campus at St. Olaf College, where they both were students. After eight years together, Keeley made a sentimental highlight video of their relationship, followed by her proposal. Later, Melina surprised Keeley with a proposal during a trip to Madeline Island on Lake Superior. Their wedding day featured the idyllic backdrop of Hidden Meadow and Barn, where the couple opted for bright florals to match their bold color scheme. After the couple said “I do” amid the weeping willows, family shared heart-felt speeches. “It was so moving to hear what our family members thought about our relationship,” Melina says. Loved ones enjoyed a delicious marble cake and pies for dessert, followed by the DJ playing the couple’s favorite songs. “We danced our hearts out to those songs, and the vibe was all-around amazing,” Melina says.
