Our Wedding

Madison and Sterling met for the first time in their Homeroom Class at Hunt High School in August of 2015. Sterling was the new kid who had just moved from CCS. They became friends and would FaceTime every day. They remained best friends until May of 2018, where Sterling asked Madison to be his girlfriend at a Post Malone Concert. At first Madison thought he was joking as they both never thought the other would like them back, but she gladly accepted. From there, they were able to sit next to each other at their high school graduation (thanks to their alphabetically similar last names) and enjoy the last summer they had together before Madison went to NC State University in the fall. Sterling would drive to NC State every Friday morning right after completing his third shift at Merck each day to pick Madison up and bring her home to enjoy her own bed, pets, and food! After completion of Madison’s freshman year, they decided they were ready to live together! They moved into an apartment for a few short months before moving into a house next to Sterling’s parents. There, they got their first pup together, Chopper - a red Doberman. Their worlds immediately began to revolve around him. In January of 2021, they bought their first house! From there they have stayed and celebrated numerous birthdays, holidays, career changes, and their engagement! They also brought home their second pup - Tito, an Australian Terrier and their Teddy Bear! She made their home whole and keeps them on their toes. Iceland had always been a dream trip for them and in December of 2022 they finally decided to plan it for May of 2023! Time went by quickly and soon enough they were boarding the plane for Iceland, Madison’s first time flying. Sterling had the ring hidden in the lens cover of his camera in his carry-on bag. On the second day of their trip Sterling decided to take a 4 hour drive to take Madison to Stokksnes (the black sand beach) that displayed Vestrahorn mountain. Little did Madison know, Sterling had been planning to propose in this exact location. The view was absolutely breathtaking. Sterling asked Madison to stand still so Sterling could set up his camera for pictures. When Sterling joined Madison he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him! She joyfully said yes! (and does not remember a single thing he said). From there they enjoyed the remainder of their trip engaged and returned home to celebrate with family and friends. They are so excited for this next chapter of their lives and cannot wait to top their best day ever with their Wedding! They cannot wait to see what the future has in store for them.
