How We Met

First Comes School, Then Comes Marriage

Madison and Bailey's love story began in middle school when they were paired together for a spanish project. Bailey, with his charming demeanor, was the first boy ever allowed at Madison's house in the seventh grade. The encounter was filled with sweet awkwardness, hinting at the budding connection between them. However it wasn't until they were 15 years old that they officially started dating, navigating through awkward first dates at vida taco and stolen kisses in the hallways of South River High School. Growing up together, they witnessed each other's evolution, nurturing a deep bond that blossomed into love. Through it all, they remained one another's best friends, sharing a journey full of laughter, tears, and countless cherished memories.

The Proposal

(not starring Ryan Reynolds or Sandra Bullock)

On January 20, 2024 under the guise of a VERY early valentine's celebration, Bailey orchestrated a surprise proposal that would forever change their lives. Over brunch Bailey was barely able to take full advantage of the bottomless brunch. As they walked hand in hand by the water, Bailey poured his heart out, confessing his love for Madison since they were children and expressing his desire to grow old together. With tears streaming down Madison's face, overcome with joy, she said "yes"!

The Celebration

The surprises did not end there. Under false pretenses, they headed to a nearby bar to meet Bailey's dad and stepmom for a drink, only to be greeted by their family and friends waiting to celebrate their engagement. Surrounded by loved ones, Bailey and Madison basked in the warmth of their love, knowing their lives has just begun. Their journey together continues, filled with love, laughter, and the unwavering support of those who have witnessed their love story unfold.
