Our Wedding

On a cold Thursday in January, Old Dominion was having a concert in Bemidji, MN. Brent and Maddie both happened to be in the pit that night. A fight broke out and Maddie grabbed on to some stranger nearby to protect her. That stranger happened to be Brent Dorn.

BRENT PROPOSES! Maddie was having a clinical rotation in Duluth the month of September. Brent came to visit for the weekend. When they went for a morning coffee walk along the beach, Brent set up a timer camera to "take a picture". He ended up secretly recording a video and got down on one knee. Lots of happy tears and celebrating all weekend.

September 7th, 2024

Brent and Maddie are finally living in the same state again after Maddie graduated PA school and moved home. The end of long distance in sight.
