Stone Harbor, NJ | The trip that started it all! Caileigh (Madison's BFF) invited her on her family vacation to the shore! The trip consisted of bike rides to Wawa, late night talks on the couch, and young love in the air. They said their goodbyes at the end of the week, but they still stayed in contact for the next 13 years...

New York City, NY | Madison was finishing up optometry school rotations while Michael was still living in Pennsylvania. Madison reached out to Michael via Instagram DMs (all thanks to Caileigh). One thing led to another, and they ended up traveling to New York City for their first date! They spent the weekend catching up, and they knew this was going to be something special.

Bloomington, IN | Michael drove alllll the way to Indiana University to watch Madison graduate from optometry school! This was a big weekend for both of them because she was done with all schooling, and he met all of her friends and family for the first time!

Pottstown, PA | Madison (semi) moved out to Pennsylvania. Now it was Madison's turn to meet all of Michael's friends and family!

Indianapolis, IN | GO BIRDS! (Madison says GO COLTS!)

Phoenixville, PA | THEY BOUGHT A HOUSE!

Philadelphia, PA | GO BIRDS! (Madison still says GO COLTS.)

Rehoboth Beach, DE | Michael proposed to Madison!!! Michael was nervous to propose this day. His brother, Matt, said he needed to take some photos for school. Michael and Madison said they would go with him. Little did Madison know it was actually for Matt to capture the special moment!
