It is only by the grace of the Father that we met and are getting married! He intricately wrote our stories and wove our paths so that we may meet and begin dating. What a gift life together is! James 1:17. About three and a half years ago, a good friend of ours introduced us as we both sought Catholic friendship at OU. Within a matter of weeks, we recognized the potential for more than friendship and began to pursue a dating relationship. The first time we were together one-on-one, Nick asked Madison to pray at Eucharistic Adoration. Afterwards, the two grabbed ice cream and asked each other every question - goofy and serious - imaginable! The Lord has remained at the helm of our lives and within our relationship ever since. With Him guiding our steps, we continued to spend more time with each other. After our first date at the local Italian restaurant in Norman, Nick asked Madison to be his girlfriend. She said yes! Throughout the past three years of dating, we have laughed through a lot, endured much, and remained faithfully at each other's side. From job offers, medical school acceptances, moving to a new city, and getting engaged, we have experienced much together. It has been and will be the sweetest privilege to grow up and navigate life with each other. As we enter this new season of marriage, we feel immensely blessed and excited to become our own family. We thank each of you for playing pivotal roles in our lives and are so excited to celebrate our marriage with you all!
