Jason and Madeline met one summer afternoon in 2022 at a dinner party she was throwing for friends and family. Her brother-in-law, Eliot, wanted another guy to hang out with and watch the game while the girls enjoyed the pool so he invited Jason. Eliot ended up watching that game by himself as the two chatted all night long. Madeline returned to Houston the following day, wondering if he'd reach out soon.

After a few months, Jason decided it was time, he was going to ask out the boss's daughter. He found Madeline, and asked set up their first date during Madeline's next visit to San Antonio, December 3, 2022. They went to a local Italian restaurant, Noli's Vite, drove around looking at the Christmas lights, and ended the night with a live band and cocktails at a local bar, Sidecar.

Thus ensued months of texting and planning long trips to and from Houston until Madeline moved down to San Antonio start her new job at DMJ where he worked. She got to know his three wonderful daughters, Grace, Emma, and Charley, and have the occasional game night with them. She did not let them win!

Jason asked Monty for his daughter's hand over cigars, which had almost burned out by the time he worked up the courage! Not one to wait, Jason decided to ask her the next day, December 20, 2023. Recreating their first date, they went back to Noli's Vite, but Madeline knew something was up as he was jittery and dressed to the nine's (which is not the norm for those who know him :P). Working through an appetizer, entree, and dessert, Madeline eventually decided it was all in her mind and she grabbed her purse to leave. Once outside, he dropped to one knee which is the plot twist that brings us all here.

She said yes!

Jason and Madeline couldn't be more excited to embark on their next chapter of life together, and are looking forward to celebrating their union with you, in the month where this new family began. See y'all December 8th, 2024!
