Ben & Madison

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to scroll through our site, learn a little bit more about us, and love us well in the process. We are so excited for what's to come - in the next 6 months, in the next year, and in the future as we walk through life together. Before we wed, we wanted to share a little bit of our story with you. If you're taking the time to read this then you are most likely either one of our grandmothers, someone who knows us really well who is curious about how we view ourselves, or a complete stranger who was asked to be a plus one to this wedding. Regardless, we're glad you're here. Though Ben and I went to the same high school for two and a half years, we did not become friends until November-ish of our senior year of high school when we started hanging out in a small group of people. As time went on, Ben and I began to realize that we really liked being around each other. As the number of people who could regularly hang out dwindled, Ben and I continued to spend time together until it eventually turned into Ben asking me on a date (our first date was at Chili's in Brentwood #SaveChilis) and the rest, as they say, is history. Of course we know that in reality, no relationship is as simple as "the rest is history". We have been blessed by an incredible community of people from all walks of life who have surrounded us with love, encouragement, and wisdom over the past 4 years. We make no claim that the last 4 years of life, much less our relationship, have been easy. We can only claim that by the grace of Jesus, we have been able to be a part of each others' struggles, delights, and growth over the last few years. We are firm believers that life is not the mountain tops, but the walking in between - and we hope you can tell by now that we very much like walking next to each other.
