It all began in Mexico, at a mutual friend's wedding on May 9th, 2022. Madison, a Canadian, and Lauren, an American, found themselves crossing paths in a beautiful destination that neither of them expected would lead to a life-changing connection. That first conversation turned into a spark, and from that moment, we were inseparable. After spending the summer getting to know each other, we officially began dating on August 14th, 2022. What followed was a whirlwind of long drives, with Madison & Lauren making the 6-hour journey to visit each other. It wasn’t always easy, but we were determined to be together, taking the next steps toward building a life we dreamed of. As we worked on fixing up our future home, it became clear: this was the person we wanted by our side forever. On July 6, 2023, Madison proposed to Lauren, sealing their love with a promise. But in a beautiful twist, just nine days later, Lauren surprised Madison by turning the tables and proposing right back on July 15, 2023. In January 2024, Madison moved to the USA, and we filed for a visa, starting another chapter of our journey. The process was long and full of patience, but in December 2024, we got the incredible news—we were approved! Now, we can finally travel back and forth between the USA and Canada without a worry. And here we are, planning the wedding of our dreams. Our love story has come full circle, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with you all in the place where it all began: Mexico. On September 13, 2025, we’ll be saying “I do” in the very country that brought us together. We’re incredibly grateful for this beautiful life we’ve built, filled with love, laughter, and our adorable dog, Torch. Thank you for being a part of our story and for joining us as we embark on the next chapter of our adventure together.
