Our Wedding

Ryan and Madi first met during 7th period Biology class in high school. At the time, Ryan was a sophomore, and Madi was a freshman. They happened to sit near each other and started chatting mostly about homework at first. Before long, their conversations continued outside of class, especially at track practice, where they got to known each other better.

On the morning of April 22nd, 2019, Ryan asked Madi to be his girlfriend while they sat in her car before first period, a moment they regularly shared with one another. With both of their busy schedules, these few quiet minutes in the car became their go-to time to catch up and just be together.

Ryan and Madi shared countless memories during their three years of high school together. They loved cheering each other on at sporting events, spending time with friends, and simply enjoying each other's company whenever they could.

After graduating high school, Ryan began working at Kline Electric in Ankeny, where he still works today. A year later, Madi graduated and went on to attend Winona State University in Minnesota, where she plays collegiate soccer and is studying Movement Science. Despite the challenges of long-distance, they made the most of every chance they had to see each other.

After five years of dating, Ryan got down on one knee and asked Madi to marry him during a family trip to Colorado. He chose the perfect spot with beautiful mountain views and a stunning sunset to ask her to marry him. And of course, she said YES!
