#MadalynInHolyMatttrimony

Our Wedding

Q + A

From that first encounter in 2014 at the drive-thru of McDonald's to navigating life's ups and downs together, Madalyn and Matt's journey is a testament to the unpredictable nature of relationships. They were both the life of a party and loved adventures and nothing ever got in the way of having a good time. Their friendship blossomed through shared struggles and social gatherings, creating a strong foundation amidst the changing landscapes of their lives. As Madalyn welcomed her baby, Elliot, their paths seemed to drift apart, but life had a way of bringing them back together. The moment Madalyn moved next to one of Matt's best friends the friendship restarted again like it never took a break. Matt and Madalyn were best friends again, and playing darts almost every weekend at our friends house. Matt's persistent interest, Madalyn's initial reluctance created a playful tension between them. Another couple years went by and again they seen each other at a local bar, and Matt wanted to try to take things more serious, and asked Madalyn on a date. Madalyn responded with "maybe next time." Matt was persistent and did not give up. That was until one evening when Madalyn, responded to a message saying "This is not a date, I am not getting ready, and I just want the Down under." From that dinner, what started as a laid-back hangout quickly turned into something deeper.&nbsp; The walls they'd built around their hearts began to crumble, and Matt’s determination to win Madalyn over transformed into a genuine commitment to building a future together. They found themselves in each other's lives more than ever, sharing laughter, dreams, and spontaneous adventures.&nbsp;(Even golf, which Madalyn Hates. But Matt promised if Madalyn gets a hole in one before he does he will give it up.) Their love story, woven through serendipity and a gradual understanding of each other’s hearts, is a reminder that sometimes the best relationships grow from the most unlikely beginnings.
