Our Story

Willy and Madi’s journey began on April 23, 2022, when they met through mutual friends in Indianapolis, Indiana. At the time, Madi was just days away from moving to Nashville, Tennessee for her clinical rotation, and Willy was gearing up to head to the University of South Carolina for a semester-long opportunity. Despite the distance, they made an effort to stay in touch. Throughout the summer of 2022, their friendship blossomed with text messages, FaceTime calls, Snapchats, and daily Wordle games. By August, it became clear that their meeting was no accident—it was God's plan coming to fruition. In December 2022, Willy and Madi officially entered a long-distance relationship. The love and support they had for each other helped them overcome the challenges of being apart. And finally, in March 2024, Willy made the move to Denver, CO, closing the gap for good. On December 14, 2024, they celebrated their two-year anniversary. That day, Willy’s coat pocket felt a little heavier than usual. Outside Denver’s Union Station, he asked Madi to be his life partner, and Madi joyfully said yes. A Heartfelt Thank YouWe can’t fully express how grateful we are to have all of you here with us as we celebrate this next chapter in our lives. We feel incredibly blessed to be hosting our wedding in beautiful Colorado, and we hope you take the time to enjoy the stunning Rocky Mountains while you’re here. We’re counting down the days—October 11th, here we come!

Parking + Transportation

Denver International Airport (DIA) is the closest airport to the wedding venues and hotel block. DIA also services all major rental car companies, which is likely the most convenient form of transportation during our wedding weekend. There is not a reliable form of public transportation to access all events of the wedding, however ride shares (I.e. Uber, Lyft) are available from DIA as well.

Denver International Airport

Courtyard Boulder Broomfield is conveniently located northwest of Denver, and is less than 10 miles from the wedding ceremony site, reception site, and downtown Boulder. We advise planning to book your hotel early, as there is a home CU-Boulder football game during this weekend. We anticipate hotel prices and availability to reflect this accordingly. Please use this link to select your hotel room through the Courtyard Marriott booking website. If issues arise please reach out to Willy or Madi directly.
