Madelyn and I first met in the middle of the summer in 2022. I was leaving summer camp after working the first half and she was returning to work the second half. Fast forward seven months… and one Friday night, she asked me to her KD Semi-formal on February 3rd, 2023. Awesome… I know right? We ended up having a great time, and the next day, I asked her to go on a date with me the following weekend! We got to know each other for the next couple of months, and as she was going to meet my parents in West Monroe on April 7th (Good Friday), I asked her to be my girlfriend. We dated for a little over a year before I asked her to marry me on May 26th, 2024!
