What started as a forgettable moment for Jake and an uneventful interaction for Madison led to so much more! They had first met in April of 2015 and neither of them thought that it would lead to anything more than a friendship. Madison and Jake have the same friend group and had many interactions over the course of that year. Jake first started to take interest in Madison during the the fall of her senior year and did not act upon that feeling for an entire year... He was just being real patient... But finally in the fall of the following year asked her to join him for the military ball in December. They ended up having a great time and that date solidified Jake's feelings for Madison. By January, they were going on dates regularly and made it Facebook official January 30, 2017. Their dating experience was a great journey that led to an engagement ring design and a surprise proposal in Florida!
