We're getting married!

The couple's story began with an app called "Hinge". They matched and texted back and forth for almost 3 months. They were honestly surprised they could keep the convo going that long. Jared was on the road a lot for work, while Madison was a nurse and back in school for her doctorate. Their busy lives made it so hard to find someone, let alone find a time to meet up. Eventually, Madison and Jared realized they both went to church at Eleven22, but they went to different locations. Jared ended up inviting Madison to church with him and that's where it all began. Madison agreed to a church date because she figured if Jared was weird, then she wouldn't have to talk to him during church. She could easily escape after church if she needed to make up a story. Madison ended up being surprised by Jared and stayed to chat with Jared for almost 2 hours after church. Madison and Jared hit it off! Since their first date, they were inseparable.
