Our story began on Hinge — the app that’s “designed to be deleted.” And, well… it worked! One conversation turned into laughter, late-night talks, and a connection that felt effortless from the start.

Madalyn, born and raised in Wisconsin, brings her Midwestern kindness and big heart to everything she does. Jacob, from Illinois, adds his easygoing charm, sense of humor, and love for family — especially his amazing son, Mack.

From the start, Mack has been an important part of our story. Madalyn would always joke with Jake that he is "stuck" with her now because of how fast she found love for Mack.

Watching our bond grow as a family has been one of the most special parts of our journey. Together, we’ve shared countless adventures, road trips between Wisconsin and Illinois, and a lifetime’s worth of laughter already.

Now, as we get ready to say “I do,” we’re so excited to celebrate not just our love, but the beautiful family we will continue to build — surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.
