Our story began in the Fall of 2017 at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse where we both attended college. Despite having mutual friends, our paths rarely crossed during our first year. In our sophomore year, after a night spent with close friends, getting to know each other, and an unexpected kiss goodbye, we formed a connection that would turn from best friends to being each other's better half.

Drawn together by a shared passion for the great outdoors, dogs, and a similar sense of humor, we quickly forged a deep bond. Our days were filled with laughter, adventures, and endless conversations that seemed to effortlessly weave the threads of our lives together.

After we both graduated, we, accompanied by our other best friend and fur baby, Willard, embarked on a new chapter of our journey. Our path led us to Downers Grove, Illinois, where Noah began his pursuit of a career in dentistry, while Madi embraced her calling as an elementary school teacher.

Amidst the whirlwind of adjusting to new jobs and the rigors of school, we leaned on each other for support, our love growing stronger with each passing day. Road trips out west became our escape, a chance to reconnect with nature and each other, while therapeutic excursions to REI provided moments away from the chaos of daily life.

In November of 2023, against the backdrop of Rocky Mountain National Park, our journey reached a pivotal moment. Surrounded by one of our favorite views, Emerald Lake, we got engaged with the excitement that our next great adventure would be with, as Noah put in his proposal "brand new titles for each other".

We are so excited to share our journey with you and can't wait for our next adventure as Mr. and Mrs. David!
