Our Wedding

While sitting and waiting for her cousin's wedding last November, Madi was swiping through different profiles on Bumble without realizing her location had changed from Iowa to Kansas. She swiped right on a guy named Joshua and hoped he'd like her too. Joshua, on the other hand, had stopped online dating and turned off his notifications. By the grace of God, he opened up Bumble after Madi had liked his profile. They started messaging and the rest is history! After texting for a few weeks, Joshua invited Madi to go to the military ball with him, and of course she said yes. But first, they decided to meet up in Iowa. Joshua traveled the 4 hours and 45 minutes with his dog, Oliver, to spend the weekend with Madi. They ate at their now favorite restaurant, got ice cream, went ice skating, went shopping, and took Oliver to a dog park. Joshua asked Madi to be his girlfriend on January 19, 2025. From there, Madi and Joshua have attended a military ball and several weddings together. They've spent holidays and celebrations with their families and friends, and now they're excited to celebrate their wedding with you!
