Our Wedding

On May 5th, 2016 Nathan and Madison crossed paths in their college town of Cortland, New York. It was on the corner of Tompkins Street and Prospect Terrace in front of the infamous "Blue House" that they noticed one another. Madison, very boldly, asked Nate if he would like her phone number. They've spoken everyday since that night. Two years later, both Madison and Nate graduated from the State University of New York at Cortland. Upon graduating, they decided to take a huge leap of faith and move across the country to Phoenix, Arizona. Together, they created a beautiful life for themselves where their love has blossomed for the last seven years!

Bridesmaids

Brittni is Dylan's wife and Madison's beloved sister-in-law. Britt is, like the rest of us Provencher women, fiercely loyal and protective over the ones she loves. She has always looked out for Madison and holds a very special place in her heart. Not to mention, they share the same love for Harry Potter ;)

Brittni Provencher

Sara is Nate and Madison's sister-in-law (to-be). She sprinkles positivity wherever she goes and lights up any room she walks into. Sara and Madison are one another's partner-in-crime, so it's never a dull moment when they're together. She has the biggest heart and we are so blessed to call her family. 

Sara Stamer

Kait is one of Madison's cousins. She has always been an influential role model for Madison, especially when it came to becoming an educator. Kait is the epitome of selflessness and constantly goes out of her way to meet the needs of others and bring them happiness. 

Kaitlyn McLoughlin

Devin is a cousin of Madison's as well. She has also served as a strong role model for Madison throughout her life. She is, hands down, one of the funniest people you'll ever meet. Not only is she hilarious, but she is also incredibly insightful, kindhearted, and thoughtful. 

Devin McElhenny

Julia, cousin and childhood role model, was Madison's coconspirator in whatever trouble they were getting themselves into at all the Provencher family gatherings. Whether it be playing pranks or organizing dance routines, they were always right by one another's side. Julia's altruistic passion and drive is evident in everything she does. 

Julia Brazil

Ellen is Madison's Arizona soul sister! They met at New Teacher Induction as first-year educators and instantly clicked. She is Madison's go-to, "always down for anything" best friend. She also shares Madison's thirst for adventure and excitement. Ellen is the most genuine person we know who consistently provides us with unwavering love and support. Everyone needs an Ellen in their life. 

Ellen Poetz

Emma is someone who makes everyone a better person. Her kindness and beauty radiate from the inside out. She is an incredibly real, trustworthy, and faithful best friend who cares deeply about those she loves. She has been Madison's guiding force since college. To know Emma is to love Emma. The world is brighter with her in it. 

Emma Triolo

Tara is Madison's "college soulmate". She stuck by her side through thick, thin, and all the unknown that college can bring. She is Madison's advice guru and confidante. She is wholeheartedly sincere, thoughtful, and authentic in everything that she does. She is truly a once-in-a-lifetime best friend!

Tara Nash

Amanda was Madison's roommate and housemate for all four years of college. Without fail, she is Madison's biggest cheerleader and shoulder to cry on. She has been a steady constant in Madison's life for the last eleven years, always present and supportive for the ups and downs life has thrown at us. She also shares the same sense of humor as Madison, so they spend most of their time together belly laughing and cracking jokes. 

Amanda Cordovano

Katie and Madison met in Kindergarten. All thanks to fate, they went on to attend middle school, high school and college together. Needless to say, they have created an endless amount of fond memories! Their strong connection that eventually evolved into a true sisterhood is the reason they both graduated SUNY Cortland. Katie has a heart of gold and always helps those around her to see the good (and the humor) in every given situation.
