The love story starts back in 2013, when we attended a high school dance with other dates...

As time went on, we remained friends and would sporadically reach out to one another. In 2017, Matt “randomly” decided to stop by Michigan State during his freshman spring break.

Madeline comes to visit Matt at Stanford. The love begins to grow out of the friendship-stage!

After years & years of knowing one another, Matt finally decides to ask Madeline out and we officially start dating!

We both knew we loved spending time traveling the world with one another. One of our first big trips was to Alaska! The week was filled with fishing, sight seeing, and family

Over the years, we celebrated many milestones in Chicago.

4 years into our dating, we decided to grow our family by 1... and adopted Willow!

Engaged! Matt (finally) proposes to Madeline on the pier in Montague, Michigan.
