Our Wedding

The week leading up to the proposal, Robert drove all the way to Paris, Texas from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.. a good 3 hour drive... just to ask for permission in person! The week of the proposal Robert asked me on a date for the upcoming Saturday night and mentioned he wanted to go to a nice restaurant in the city. I genuinely thought nothing of it, it was a normal thing for us to go on fun random dates on Saturday nights so I obviously say yes. Saturday rolls around and I had a couple of my really good friends help me pick out what to wear that night because Robert told me to wear my "favorite nice outfit". He also told me that his co-worker had given us a free "after hours tour" of the Botanical Gardens in Oklahoma City. Again, I am clueless and think nothing of this plan for our Saturday night.&nbsp;

So I meet him on Saturday night and we drove over to the Botanical Gardens. As we are walking up, I had to talk myself down a little and kept saying "there's no way it's happening... no way... right?... yeah, no way"&nbsp;

This conversation went on in my head throughout the whole walking tour of the gardens.

Everything felt&nbsp;soooo&nbsp;casual while we were there.&nbsp;

It also happened to be our 8 month anniversary of dating this night. And in classic Robert style, he starts to make a joke about how I had not gotten him anything for our anniversary. When I asked "well, what did you get me?!"

He responds with: "I'm taking you on a date!"

At this point of the tour, we are winding up around this staircase to a landing that looks over the entire gardens, everything we had just walked through.&nbsp;

Then he says, "Actually, I did get you something... I wrote you a note."

You have to understand myself and Robert to understand, this was incredibly sweet of him. I have always loved receiving notes from him. I&nbsp;am a&nbsp;big&nbsp;words of affirmation gal, and getting notes is huge to me.

Again, in my head I'm asking myself:&nbsp;"is this really happening!?"

He hands me the note.

And as soon as I opened it, I immediately went to the&nbsp;bottom.

(I wanted to see if it was really happening!!)

The Question was not written on the bottom... I realize this and I immediately start to get nervous and very excited... but now I have to actually read the note...

I can hardly get through it, all i can think about is "wow this is so sweet.... wait, is he gonna propose??... I can't focus on this letter but I know it's really sweet... wait what does that last sentence just say???"

"Madison Rayne Stout sounds good on paper, but lets make it official..."

I turned and looked at him with tears welling up in my eyes and all I can say is: "Really?!"&nbsp;

He then got on one knee and pulled out a sweet little box...

I didn't even have to think about it. I'm pretty sure he didn't get the whole question out before I started nodding my head yes and saying "YES YES UH HUH YES!!!"

After that, Robert planned for time to call our family before dinner. We enjoyed a relaxing and sweet dinner together at Vast in Oklahoma City.

Details

Summer and Maddie have been roommates and very close friends since their sophomore year in Alpha Chi. Summer and Maddie now have an incredible bond because of the semesters they spent together as roommates. Both have seen their sorority, their friends and each other go and grow through so much.

Fun fact:&nbsp;Summer actually photographed and videoed Maddie walking down stairs and to the car on Maddie and Rob's first date!&nbsp;

Summer Stolz

Eli and Rob were fraternity&nbsp;brothers in SAE. Eli has been one of Rob's best friends ever since. The two have seen the worst and the best in each other - both living a pretty wild lifestyle early in college. The friendship got stronger as they both grew closer to God. One of Rob's best memories he has in life is baptizing Eli. Rob also says it stinks being best friends with Eli because everyone thinks he's a male model... Rob is the George Costanza&nbsp;to Eli's Jerry Seinfeld.

Eli Ferrell

Jacob Lewis is by far the biggest douche Rob has ever met.&nbsp;But Rob loves him and he is one of the most fun people to be around. Due to a certain amount of bets made in college,&nbsp;Jacob may or may not have naming rights to Rob's first son.

Jacob Lewis

Tara and Maddie have been very close friends since their sophomore year in Alpha Chi Omega. Tara and Maddie grew a closer bond once living next door to each other in the sorority house. The two could usually be found planning or executing a prank in the 2 North Bathrooms...

Tara Christopher

Tanner and Rob met at their first summer at Kaleo. Rob thought Tanner was some Florida bum with hair down to his butt, but it turned out Tanner was actually a&nbsp;leader for the ministry.&nbsp;Rob doesn't know if he has met anyone who genuinely cares about people like&nbsp;Tanner does... and that is probably the best quality that has rubbed off on Rob.&nbsp;

Tanner Reddick

Mattie and Maddie have also grown closer since their sophomore year in Alpha Chi Omega and are currently roommates for their final semesters in college. Matt and Maddog had never lived outside of a dorm or the sorority house until their final semester and the two have grown closer in their new journey together.

Mattie Langford

Emily and Maddie met for the first time at their first Kaleo in the summer of 2016. The pair didn't become close until second semester sophomore year. There were many nights spent driving around Stillwater talking about nothing together, both simply loving the time that was spent together. Emily has always been a friend who encourages and loves Maddie from the heart.

Emily Little

Jacob is a guy Rob lead spiritually through college. Jacob came in a squinted-eye angry little boy. Now Rob can honestly say he's about the same.... but Rob still loves him... But really, Rob couldn't be more proud of Jacob or proud to be his friend.

Jacob Hicks

Landon Hallam

Delainey was actually the first Alpha Chi Maddie talked to at recruitment her freshman year. Instantly they clicked. Delainey eventually became Maddie's big that year and the two have had an inseparable bond ever since. Delainey has been there for Maddie through the good, bad and ugly. She has always loved Maddie for who she was and never judged her.&nbsp;

Delainey Gage

Tiffani and Maddie met during Maddie's first year in Alpha Chi. The two didn't become close friends until Tiffani moved back into the sorority house to serve as Chapter President. Maddie played many pranks on Tiffani, solely out of love! And Tiffani never lets it get to her...

Tiffani Porter

Taylor and Maddie have grown much closer in the last year and a half. The two spent an entire summer sharing a bed together. After the summer, Taylor remained close with Maddie and has been there for her and has proven to be someone that Maddie can really rely on!

Taylor Hadwiger

Maya is actually Maddie's little. The two have gotten to grow close together throughout their time in Alpha Chi. Maya was also one of the first people to know Maddie and Rob were engaged and committed to keeping the secret before the rest of the sorority found out! Maddie adores Maya and could not ask for a better little sister.

Maya Ramirez

Lexi was Maddie's D-Group leader at Kaleo her first summer. Lexi took Maddie under her wing and guided her not only throughout that summer but ever sense then. The two have a serious connection and lots of inside little jokes. Lexi is someone Maddie looks up to and is thankful Lexi&nbsp;is in her life!

Lexi Nicholson

Tori was in the same D-group with Maddie her first summer. The two hadn't met before that summer and after you would not have been able to tell. Tori brings so much life and free spirit when she is around Maddie! Tori is someone who loves unconditionally and has always been there for Maddie no matter what.

Tori Jeffries

Cassidi and Maddie were also in the same D-group together their first summer at Kaleo. Cassidi is someone Maddie has always been thankful she had in her life. The two have always enjoyed inside jokes and sweet laughs together.
