Our Wedding

We met through nursing school. Luke had a crush on me the last two years of college and I had absolutely no idea. He thought he had no chance so he just gave up. (Come on man)On our last week of school I found out Luke was talking to a girl, I was absolutely devastated but I thought I was just tired. I was still so upset three days later and I realized I felt this way because I liked him. So on our last day of school I decided to tell him how I felt! (Very uncharacteristic) I figured I would never see him again since we were graduating so what did I have to lose?He told me then that he had had a crush on me for the last two years and had no idea I felt the same. He broke it off with the other girl and the rest is history! Our first photo together was taken a week after this conversation! This was also the day I realized that I probably should’ve waited until graduation to tell him how I felt because it would’ve been so awkward had he not felt the same. Completely forgot I would have to see him again this day.

How we met

Very very quickly December 27th, 2023 :) I’ll let the notes app entry speak for itself

When I knew I wanted to marry Luke 

I knew I wanted to marry Madeline whenever I realized how much she can make me laugh and how happy I was around her. I began to love her as naturally as breathing, with no pivotal moment sticking out in time. I knew she loved me by the way she looked at me. We were finishing up our date night, just talking and laughing. In that moment, In her eyes I was her perfect future. Ever since I’ve realized this, I’ve dreamed and strived to be the man I see in her eyes.

WHEN I KNEW I WANTED TO MARRY MADELINE

April 16th 2025, The day my friends and I feel like we waited FOREVER for (really it was a year and some change lol) I was told over a month prior that my friend’s husband was in a commercial for Judice Inn. He worked there so it made sense. Well, the time came for the commercial to come out so my friend group and I went to a private viewing of the commercial in Crowley. I was told the owner owns that theater so thats why we were going there. When we got there the theater was empty besides my friends (and the workers, who were in Judice Inn T-shirts), I was told they had another showing earlier, that most of his other coworkers went to. When the commercial started I was so confused because it was just a Timelapse of them making burgers and my friend’s husband wasn’t even in the video. While I was complaining ("Dalton why did you make us drive all the way out here for this" - exact quote from me before I suspected anything) and asking questions, My friends got up and started walking out. I was so confused and that’s when the screen started playing a homemade video. Luke got all my close friends and family to film little messages to me and we sat and watched them together and at the end of it he proposed! Fun fact: his phone fell out his pocket when he got on one knee and we forgot about it and had to drive BACK to Crowley the next morning. When we walked out my family was in the theater to surprise me! We then went back to my parents house where even more people were there to celebrate with us!
