Tracy Ayres takes all the credit for this beautiful relationship. She was Madison's club volleyball coach in high school. Madi reached out to Tracy in the summer of 2023, looking for a community that played volleyball for fun. Tracy was hosting adult co-ed open gyms and encouraged Madi to come. When she arrived, the first person she noticed was Mason. They were put on the same team together, and Madi loves to say that when they would high-five in between points, Mason would hold onto her hand a little longer... and that's when she knew. Mason's version may tell the opposite- that Madi was the one holding his hand, but the world may never know. Anyway, Mason would proceed to ask Madi out on dates and to play volleyball, and well, the rest is history! They still love to play volleyball as a reminder of how they came to be. We are so excited to celebrate this wonderful new chapter in our lives with y'all. We are very blessed to have all of you who have played such a crucial role in our relationship and soon-to-be marriage. With lots of love, - M & M
