It all started at Robertson Elementary, where we first met as colleagues. In 2022, we officially became teaching partners—spending our days side by side in the classroom, managing lesson plans, laughing through the chaos, and getting to know each other in that wonderfully ordinary way.

Somewhere between morning meetings and recess duty, a small tradition began: Madison started bringing Matthew coffee. At first, it was just a thoughtful gesture between coworkers… but over time, those quiet moments became something more—subtle signs of something bigger brewing.

After months of shared glances, inside jokes, and a few too many third-wheel hangouts, Matthew finally made his move in May 2023 and asked Madison to be his girlfriend. From the start, it felt different—real, easy, and full of joy.

On January 2nd, 2025, after an evening of stargazing and reflecting on everything we’d been through together, Matthew proposed.

Now, we’re stepping into this next chapter hand in hand, feeling incredibly grateful for each other—and for all of you who have supported us along the way. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
