Their story began back in high school, Josh and Madelyn were in the same friend group. Madelyn was completely oblivious, but Josh had developed a crush on her during their sophomore year. It wasn't until Josh wanted to ask Madelyn to Junior prom that she found out he liked her. However, Madelyn already agreed to go to prom with her friends. Josh continued to show interest after that, but it wasn't until the summer that they went on their first official date where they went shopping and got ice cream at Sonic. From there, Madelyn and Josh went on many dates and the rest is history! They started dating on September 16th, 2017 and will celebrate their 7 year dating anniversary before getting married. They have experienced many life events together since then including high school graduation, college graduations, OT school graduation, getting full time jobs, buying a house, birthdays, engagements, among other things. Then, Josh decided to finally pop the question on June 17th, 2023 at Lauritzen Gardens in the rose garden. Josh and Madelyn can't wait to start their lives together and see what the future holds!
