We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

To make a long, LONG, LONGGG story short…. ❤️ Austin and Madalyn have been friends since high school! When Madalyn was a freshman, Austin was a junior and hung out at Madalyn’s neighbor’s house quite often (which is how we officially met). We were in science classes together (Madalyn “helped” Austin with his homework on multiple occasions). Austin went away to school at IU and we remained close - Austin would come home for breaks and we would meet for library study sessions (literally, no hidden message here; a big part of our relationship has always been our dedication to school/futures). When Madalyn made the decision to attend IU 2 years later, we became closer but we still considered each other “just friends” for several months - as several of our family and friends like to give us a hard time about. Austin kissed Madalyn for the first time in a local Crown Point Strack’s parking lot and the rest is history! Madalyn, Austin, and our dog Oscar went to IU together and then later attended the same PA school in Indianapolis. Fast forward 9 years later and Austin FINALLY popped the question after a lovely dinner with Madalyn’s parents and some of her grandparents, and Madalyn’s cousin Frankie made a special appearance too. After dinner we walked over to take pictures in front of the courthouse (which was nothing unusual with Madalyn’s GG being present), and Austin asked Madalyn to marry him in front of the courthouse in the city we both grew up in. Madalyn was completely surprised and filled with joy! We can’t wait to start our forever and celebrate with all of our favorite people!❤️
