We met at UW-Whitewater in 2017. We had almost every class together and were in the same friend group. In that first month of meeting we happened to be paired up as partners for every project. I think this was the universes way of telling us that we should be together! We instantly clicked despite being polar opposites of each other. We both knew within the first couple months of dating that we had both found our true loves.
In December of 2020, in the midst of a Global Pandemic, Madison had gone up to visit Layne. During Madison's visit, they spent time with family, and decided to head up to UW-Whitewater's campus to take some pictures by a giant rock. This rock is very special to them because after finishing up a school year, they would go to this rock to take an annual picture. When they arrived at this rock they took pictures as planned. The thing that was not planned by Madison, was hidden in Laynes pocket. At the perfect moment, Layne pulled out ring and asked Madison to marry him. It was such an amazing day.
