1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

The year 2025 marks our seventh year together as a couple and the start of our marriage. We grew up together throughout school, and if you were to ask our eighth-grade English teacher, he would have said, 'I called it.' The summer before our freshman year, Thadd was held back and homeschooled. During this time, we began playing iMessage games together. Our competitive natures fueled our young love. After six months of being friends, Thadd finally asked Madison to be his girlfriend on May 28th, 2018. We would spend thousands of hours together going on dates or at each other's houses. There have been hundreds of highs and lows that have only strengthened us. One low moment came in 2023 during the national tournament in Puerto Rico when Thadd thought it was a good idea to fake propose. Oops... Madison's moment of waiting was finally over a year later on May 21, 2024. We went on a family cruise to Alaska from Seattle, WA. She will tell you that she saw the proposal coming on this trip, but Thadd still had a trick up his sleeve. Thadd proposed in Seattle at the Point No Point Lighthouse and had his parents surprise Madison. Our wedding has been a long time coming, and we are extremely excited to celebrate with you and all of our loved ones!
