Although this photo (our first photo) was taken about a month later, we hung out for the very first time on January 18, 2020. We hung out with Madisons friends before heading down to Finn McColes in the South Side of Pittsburgh. We also had our first kiss that night!

After 5 cancelled dates, Madison finally agreed to go on a first date with Christine. Christine decided this was also the perfect day to have bottomless mimosas with Tiffany (her maid of honor) just a few hours earlier. For our first date, Madison cooked Christine dinner at her house and forced her roommate (Tricia) to sit in the living room while they ate dinner.

Just one month later, Madison accidentally slipped and told Christine she loved her.

From March 1 - March 7 Madison took a service trip to Costa Rica with her Pharmacy class. Shortly after picking Madison up from the airport (after midnight) Christine asked Madison to be her girlfriend. Side note: Madison had already asked Christine once (February 18th, and Christine said no).

Very shortly after we started dating everyones lives changed forever. We weren't sure what our lives would look like but we knew we had to find a way to make us work despite all of the crazy happening in the world.

We had lots of COVID-19 mini visits...

...and in home date nights...

...and spa days.

We spent the year in isolation going on dates, falling in love, and learning about each other. We took our first mini trip to a cabin in Ohiopyle, PA.

After Duquesne opened back up - we spent 16 weeks long distance while Madison did pharmacy rotations in Scranton, PA.

On July 4, 2020 Madison's mom called Christine and invited her to surprise Madison in Scranton for her birthday that year. That was the first time Christine met the Haducks!

Madison quickly became a soccer fan - our first season together!

September brought our first family wedding! Yay Morgann and Ian!

And we took our first vacation - Boston, MA.

We spent our first Christmas in Pittsburgh with the Chiodos...

...and our first New Years with the Haducks in Scranton.

Our first anniversary.

2021...more soccer.

This is the night Christine decided she was going to propose. After soccer practice she started filming Madison's proposal video that she filmed on and off for over a year.

With Madisons's graduation growing nearer, we knew we had a decision to make. Would we move in together or would we find separate homes? We decided together is where we wanted to be, and Oakdale was going to be our new home.

Dr. Madison Marie Haduck - so so proud!

2021 pride.

Our second family wedding - Denver, CO. Congratulations Lexi and Mike!

2021 - Christine becomes head coach at Baldwin. Through rain, snow, freezing weather, major heat, and many long games Madison supported the team, and Christine's life long dream.

After 6 months of living with Tina and Anthony, we spend our first night in our first home together. We will forever be thankful for the time spent on Forest Glen Drive, and the memories we made.

A Scranton Thanksgiving!

Our first Christmas Tree.

2022 brought travel nursing to WVU, and our second anniversary was spent in between shifts in West Virginia.

We took our second vacation - Walt Disney World. Just one day before we left our lives changed forever when Christine tore her achilles tendon. Madison took on a lot, and kept our family together. We cried, we laughed, we cried, we grew as a couple, and we cried some more.

Our worlds collided in Scranton. We celebrated Dianne Haduck Studio of Dance, family and friends, and the wonderful life of Grandma Haduck.

Happy gotcha day to our Finn! (Refer back to the very first picture for her name reference).

Happy gotcha day to Alle! (Named after our favorite Pittsburgh coffee - Allegheny Coffee Company).

Christine asked, and Madison said YES!

Season number 3, and Madison's support never waivers.

We are aunts! Welcome, Emilia James. Say hello to the "cool aunt," and the "crazy aunt." You can guess who is who.

Madison asked, and Christine said YES!

Our third trip - Boston, MA. Madison surprised Christine with an engagement trip!

Thanksgiving 2022 - Pittsburgh

2022 family pictures.

To know us is to know we love slow mornings together. Most of our best days have started in Pittsburgh's strip district with a cup of Allegheny Coffee in hand. We find peace in the hustle and bustle around us and The Strip will forever have a piece of our hearts, as it feels like we began there.

Christmas 2022 - Scranton

Wedding planning is in full swing, and we are looking forward to growing and learning more about who we are together and as individuals. We cannot wait to see what 2023 has in store for us, and the count down has officially begun! 311 days!

HAPPY WEDDING YEAR! Brought in the new year celebrating the new Mrs. and Mr. DiMatteo!

Christine's ultimate dream comes true - she was hired as West Allegheny's newest soccer coach and of course Madison is the cutest fan.

Spent our 4th Valentine's day in Downtown Pittsburgh! We spent the weekend at the Tryp - our wedding block hotel!

We love being aunts!
