Madeline and Austin met their sophomore year of college at Carroll University’s homecoming celebration. Madeline and her Matron of Honor, Claire, crossed paths with Austin and his roommates, and the group quickly became inseparable. Most weekends were spent together—so often, in fact, that their hangouts earned the playful nickname “Weekend at The Boy’s.” After years of close friendship, something deeper began to grow between Madeline and Austin. What started as a bond built on laughter, shared weekends, and a tight-knit circle of friends became the beginning of their love story—and they’ve been choosing each other ever since.
