Our Wedding

From a swipe right to "I do," Maddy and Wyatt's love story is a whirlwind of unexpected moments and heartfelt connections. It all began on a whim in December 2019 when they matched on Tinder, neither had any intention of finding love as they both downloaded the app as a funny joke with friends. But as they exchanged texts, calls, and Facetime sessions, it became clear that something special was brewing. Their first face-to-face meeting was at BK Tap Haus in St. Micheal. Maddy was performing, and Wyatt, was just coming back from the Snap Fitness gym nearby. Even though Wyatt was not able to see Maddy perform they enjoyed small conversations and getting to know more about one-another. Between December and when they started being "official boyfriend and girlfriend," Maddy and Wyatt went on a group date with Maddy and all her friend's boyfriends at an ice skating rink in Maple Grove. However, before they could even get there Wyatt had told Maddy that he had an opportunity to meet some of his NFL friends in town that wanted to hang out with him.Like any person would, he jumped on this rare and unique opportunity and decided to leave the date. As Wyatt was driving to his NFLs friend's place he had a feeling that, "this girl could be the one" and he decided to turn around to go back to the date.Maddy was so surprised and thought it was so sweet of him to turn around, so they enjoyed the rest of their date together.They went on to survive a global pandemic together, face the challenges that came from college, Wyatt studying abroad in Italy for a month and half, job changes, and more!Through ups and downs their bond only grew stronger.After almost 4 years of dating one dreamy evening in July at Maddy's family cabin, Wyatt popped the question! Just days later, they moved into their cozy downtown St. Cloud apartment home and ready to tackle whatever life throws their way, together.With hearts full of love and laughter, Maddy and Wyatt can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead as they embark on this journey of forever starting on July 19th.
