In the heart of Seattle, within the bustling world of Amazon, two lives were set on a collision course of destiny. This is the story of how Antoine and Madeline's love story unfolded, filled with serendipitous encounters, friendship, and a love that could not be denied.

The story began on September 9, 2019, Antoine's very first day at Amazon. As his manager introduced him to his new colleagues, he had no idea that the most important introduction was yet to come. When Antoine met Madeline, she smiled warmly from behind her monitors, capturing his attention. She returned to her work, seemingly absorbed in her tasks, but that momentary connection planted the seed of curiosity.

Over the next few months, Antoine and Madeline's paths occasionally crossed at team events, but it wasn't until July 2020 that they truly connected. The world was grappling with a pandemic, and their team had transitioned to remote work. Seeking refuge from a scorching summer heatwave, both Antoine and Madeline found themselves back at the office. During these days, they began to build a friendship over lunch breaks, happy hours, and even explored the breathtaking Washington hiking trails together.

The summer of 2020 was a turning point. The bond between Antoine and Madeline deepened, and by the end of summer, they finally went on their first official date. With every passing day, their connection grew stronger. By Christmas, they had made it official - Antoine and Madeline were now a couple.

Fast forward to March 2022, and Antoine and Madeline took a significant step forward in their relationship. They moved in together, solidifying their commitment to building a life side by side.

On April 8, 2023, Antoine decided to take the next momentous step. He woke Madeline up at 7am, got down on one knee, and looking into Madeline's eyes filled with love, he proposed, asking her to be his partner for life. The answer was a resounding "Yes," sealing their love with a promise of forever.

As they stand on the precipice of their journey together, Antoine and Madeline invite you to join them in celebrating their love story. On September 9, 2024, exactly five years after their first meeting, they will celebrate their union at Black Butte Ranch. It will be a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories as they embark on the next chapter of their love story.
