They met on Tinder, funny enough! Adreyan swiped on Madison first, but she actually swiped left on him! To be fair, even Adreyan has said he didn't pick very good pictures to make his profile... Thankfully, Tinder was looking out for them and told Madison she missed a potential match. She decided that it was worth a shot to talk to this guy, because what was the worst that could happen? They talked for a while, which led to video calls, which ultimately led to an in-person meeting 2 months after their initial conversation. Madison drove all the way to Hutch and sat on the couch with Adreyan to watch WandaVision, along with his dad and brother. How romantic... Somehow, the romance (or lack thereof) on the first meeting didn't sway either of them. They officially became a couple on February 13th at 11:54 pm. This doesn't matter to anyone except Madison, because she always jokes that Adreyan could have waited a whole 6 minutes to make their dating anniversary fall on Valentine's Day. The first time they said those famous 3 words, they were sitting in the parking lot of Hutchinson Walmart on Adreyan's lunch break. He was getting out of the car and just very casually said "I love you" as he got out of the car to go back to work. Again, how romantic! The proposal came on May 3rd, 2024. Madison wanted to take Adreyan out for his birthday (May 4th), but he had different plans. Madison kind of knew the whole time because Adreyan said he forgot his phone and had to go back in the house to get it before they left. Anyone who knows Adreyan knows that his phone isn't far from him very often, so this set off her alarm bells. On the drive there, he brought up Paul and Tina's engagement, which was another thing that made Madison suspicious. She even texted her mom saying that she thought Adreyan was going to propose. They drove to the Waterfront in Wichita to have dinner at Abuelos. Adreyan asked Madison if she wanted to go down to the water and see the fountains. They still aren't sure how he timed it, but he managed to have the fountains on during the proposal. After she said yes, they both went in and texted and called all our friends and family. When they got home, Paul and Tina were waiting with Kameran to congratulate them. Madison and Adreyan officially moved into their first house together on the MacKay family property this past spring. They have begun navigating this new life together and how that is going to look for us. Sometime in the future, they plan to start a family and have at least one child. They are loving their time with their big fur baby, Molly, who is truly their pride and joy. For now, they are enjoying life together in their new home and learning what it takes to make their lives together work out.
We both wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone who has been involved in our story. There are so many people who have helped guide us on this journey and supported us along the way. We both specifically want to thank our parents for loving us unconditionally and supporting us in everything we have done. We also want to thank all our family and friends for their continued support. No matter how small you feel your part in our story may be, it has meant the world to us. We could not have done any of this without everyone's love and support. You have all kept us sane and supported us on every step of this journey. We hope we get to share our special day with everyone who has been so special to us. Love, Adreyan and Madison
