Our story began while working on a production of Camelot — Daniel as Lancelot, the literal knight in shining armor, and Madelyn as the stage manager. It was love from the moment we met, but of course, we spent months caught in a dance of stolen glances, avoiding eye contact, and confiding our feelings to everyone except each other. Finally, on the last weekend of shows, Daniel found Madelyn's face very close to his after singing a karaoke duet and decided to shoot his shot. Soon after, Daniel asked Madelyn out on our proper first date to Fifth Avenue South, the cozy bar across the street from the theatre. Things were going well...too well...to the point where Daniel was dreading going back to New York and leaving Madelyn behind. So, Daniel suggested Madelyn fly to New York City for their second date. Madelyn thought that was a little crazy, but her sister said "yolo" so she decided why not (thanks HK!). Those two days in New York were some of the best of our lives, and by the end of the trip, we knew we had found something real. For the next year of long-distance dating, every visit was better than the last.  Exactly one year after our first date, Daniel brought Madelyn back to Fifth Avenue South. This time, after a drink, we walked to the beach to watch the sunset, and Daniel got down on one knee and proposed. As we look forward to the next chapter of our story, we’re so excited to celebrate our love with all of you.
