OUR STORY

In the fall of 2021, Court and Madison were introduced through close friends. From the beginning, it was clear their connection was more than just a friendship. Still, timing wasn’t on their side. Madison was a freshman just starting her college career, and Court was a senior focused on finishing school and preparing to begin his coaching job the day after graduation. For a while, it seemed easier to ignore what was there. But some things don’t stay ignored for long. By August 2022, Court and Madison made their relationship official. Because of Court’s coaching position at Birmingham-Southern College, they chose to keep things private at first, sharing their relationship only with close family and friends. While it wasn’t always easy, they knew it would be worth it. Looking back, that season of privacy helped them build a strong foundation without outside noise — allowing their relationship to grow naturally and intentionally. As the years went on, their love only grew stronger. On April 26, 2025, Court asked Madison to spend the rest of her life with him — and without hesitation, she said yes! Through every challenge and change, they have continued to choose each other. Being in love makes life meaningful, but being best friends makes it fun — and they’re lucky enough to have both. They can’t wait for the years ahead and the life they’ll continue to build together.
