Madi and Bailey's love story began at Delta State University, where they instantly connected. Madi and Bailey, both dedicated student athletes, quickly fell for each other. However, their budding romance faced an unexpected challenge – the COVID-19 pandemic. This unforeseen circumstance unexpectedly brought them closer together, forcing them to spend every precious moment in each other's company.
After graduating from Delta State in 2020, they embarked on a new chapter in Hilton Head Island, SC, soaking up the island life. Their summer adventure led them to Louisville, KY, where they welcomed a new member to their family – their beloved Tri-Paw dog, Tres.
Madi pursued her academic goals, earning her MBA from the University of Louisville in 2022. Shortly after, they made another significant move to Port Charlotte, FL, to be closer to Madi's family in Port St. Lucie. This move also presented Bailey with the opportunity to pursue his own MBA at Florida Gulf Coast University.
Ever the adventurous spirits, Bailey and Madi planned a dream trip to Bali, Indonesia. While exploring the breathtaking beauty of Gili Trawangan, a small island in the Bali Sea, Bailey surprised Madi with a heartfelt proposal. Overjoyed, she said yes!
Bailey graduated from FGCU in December 2023 and soon after accepted a job offer with Truist Investment Services, leading the family to the Florida Panhandle in April 2024. In September 2024, they embarked on their first European adventure, exploring the enchanting cities of Amsterdam and Paris.
Drawing inspiration from their incredible journeys together, Madi and Bailey have chosen to celebrate their love with an intimate and unforgettable wedding in the picturesque Santorini, Greece, surrounded by their closest family.
