Our Love Story

Madison had noticed Aaron during their first semester at Montana State—a familiar face she’d seen around campus and quietly thought was cute. They never spoke, and she never expected their paths to cross. But when second semester began, they ended up in the same film class. Aaron spotted her during the first week and recognized her instantly. So when he saw her at a residence hall party not long after, he didn’t let the moment pass. With a smile and just enough confidence, he walked over and said, “Hey, don’t we have class together?” That simple line sparked a conversation, and the beginning of a love story neither of them saw coming. A few days later, they planned their first date. Aaron was going to pick Madison up using his friend’s truck, but the engine wouldn’t start. While he stepped away to help troubleshoot, his friend kept Madison company, chatting with her while they waited. When Aaron came back and saw them mid-conversation, he found it funny that his date had spent more time with his friend than with him so far. But then Madison looked at him, smiled, and said, “I’ll drive.” They headed to Naked Noodle for dinner, laughing and warming up over pasta, and then tried to go bowling, only to find the lanes taken for a tournament. So instead, they drove to a quiet overlook with a bench above Bozeman. January air bit at their cheeks, and Aaron, in only a flannel, was visibly shaking. When Madison asked if he was cold, he grinned and said it was nerves. That night, under the stars and city lights, they shared their first kiss. The timing wasn’t perfect. Madison was preparing to transfer, unsure anything lasting could come of this spark. They kept things light, but the connection between them kept growing. While Madison was away visiting other schools, Aaron quietly covered for her by signing her into class and helping with her assignments. She thought she was getting away with something, but the truth was, Aaron was happy for any excuse to stay close, hoping she'd eventually see what he already knew. As they were studying together on the last day of finals, Madison felt a tug she couldn’t ignore. Before heading to their exam, she asked Aaron if he wanted to give this a real chance. His reply was simple and certain: “You just made me the happiest guy on earth.” Eight years later—five of them spent across different cities, states, and time zones—Madison and Aaron have never stopped choosing each other. Now, they’re coming together once more, surrounded by family and friends, to begin the chapter they always knew was waiting: a lifetime of love.
