Brayden and Madilyn’s love story began just before their senior year of high school. Attending two rival schools, the two met through mutual friends. After some time spent getting to know one another, Brayden decided to make it official after watching Madilyn cheer at a Richlands football game. Since that day, August 13 of 2021, the couple has grown to love and cherish one another. They have been able to build a relationship centered around God and many memories. The two have made countless memories such as family vacations, golf dates, and many Sonic meet ups. As they started their relationship with a little distance in between, they were thrilled to find that they were both going to be attending Bluefield University together. From then, their dates were filled with books and studying, but they still were able to find the joy in life with one another. On June 20, 2025, Brayden decided to ask Madilyn to be his forever! After popping the question that Madilyn and both families had been waiting for, the two are extremely excited to be planning their futures together!
