Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Cameron and Maddie's story began with a chance encounter at the University of Georgia in fall 2019. Maddie, lured by the promise of free food, attended a campus meeting where she met Cameron. Their first date was nothing short of memorable - an Eagles concert that set the stage for their journey together. Since then, they have explored over 14 states and 7 countries, kickstarting a lifetime of amazing experiences. In spring 2024, during a trip to Scotland, Cameron surprised Maddie with a heartfelt proposal, marking the next chapter of their journey. We are grateful and honored to invite you to celebrate with us in Lisbon, Portugal!
