We're Getting Married

Hi everyone, this is Tate- as we're dividing up the wedding responsibilities Madi figured the "Our Story" section would be a job she wouldn’t have to worry too much about me knocking out on my own… so here goes nothin! Our story starts with orientation freshman year at the University of St Thomas where to my suprise the cute girl sitting next to me knew how to pronounce my last name correctly despite us having never met before. After that we ditched the afternoon ice breakers to shoot hoops in the field house where I quickly found out that with a state championship and a scoring title to her name... Madi was kind of a big deal. From there we built a friendship based on our shared love of basketball, strong family values and outgoing and friendly nature. It wasn't until we were sophomores that we decided to give the dating thing a try and... here we are :) In our 5 years together Madi and I have had some pretty special milestones including meeting and becoming part of each other's families, graduating from college, Madi starting grad school, first jobs, and first homes. These shared experiences helped us not only grow as individuals but also strengthen our relationship and give us the opportunity to precedent what a life together looks like. Through every milestone we're constantly reminded how lucky we are to have the support of people like you reading this, for being part of the foundation that is our life together. WOHOOO!!! NOW LETS GO CELEBRATE!!
