Our story began in 2022 while we were both working at Costco. We quickly became friends, and before long that friendship turned into something more. Our first date was at a Brewers game, and somewhere between the tailgating and the game, we made things official.

From there, we spent as much time together as possible—visiting the zoo, exploring the outdoors, thrift shopping, enjoying movie nights, and making countless memories. One favorite early memory was seeing the Barbie movie with Madison’s friends as they met Alex for the first time, which made for a funny and unforgettable introduction.

Over the years, we’ve grown together through life’s ups and downs, supported by our shared faith, sense of humor, and love for each other.

In 2026, Alex proposed at Boerner Botanical Gardens, surrounded by flowers just as Madison had always hoped. With her friend Sidney hiding in a bush to capture the moment, it was the perfect start to this next chapter. We’re so excited to celebrate with all of you!
