Our story started before we ever spoke, at an outdoor basketball tournament in Madison's hometown. She jokingly told a friend (and later on, her mom) that the boy on the far court was going to be the love of her life - fully aware that he didn't know she existed. To be fair, she didn't even know his name. A year later, Instagram did its thing and reconnected us through mutual friends, and Brandon asked Madison on our first date. We kept it chill and causal and somehow ended up at a basketball court (how ironic). Despite the nerves, the chaos, and the first-meeting jitters, something about that day just clicked - and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we've ever made. Not long after, we headed back to school. Madison attended Temple University to become a speech therapist, while Brandon studied finance and played basketball at Penn State Harrisburg. The next three to four years were spent long-distance, filled with packed bags, weekend trips, and plenty of "please text me when you get there safely" moments. It wasn't easy - we were young, figuring out life, but we grew together through every challenge. On December 16th 2025, Brandon decided to pop the question and surprise Madison by proposing - after consistently telling everyone he was waiting until after she graduated, just to throw her off. After graduation, we bought out first home, and more recently, welcomed our puppy, Apollo. And now, six years later, we're about to get married, choosing each other every day and committed to spending the rest of our lives together - just like Madison joked about all those years.
