Our Story

Pic from the night we met :)
We'll set the scene for you: Madalyn is helping her friend shoot a short film dressed like a frat guy, and Josh is playing the drums in Madalyn's college house's garage. Pretty romantic, right? At the end of 2022, the sorority Madalyn was leading at the time was hosting a worship night, and Josh was asked to play the drums, and we officially met during one of the rehearsals - which happened to be in Madalyn's garage. Not sure how much rehearsing actually happened that night, but Madalyn texted Josh immediately after asking to borrow a BBQ grill (that's another story), and it was pretty much a done deal after that! Josh proposed on January 18th, 2024 on Madalyn's front porch, and engagement has been really special in preparing us to be the Mannings! We are so thankful the Lord has given us each other to walk through life together, and are really excited to step into marriage knowing we have so many people who love us so well!
