Our journey started with a unique twist – our first four dates included Maddie dragging Trevor (mostly against his will) to Hobby Lobby, not for a shopping spree, but to gather supplies to finish making her family Christmas presents. Little did we know, these crafting adventures would lay the foundation for something truly special. We later faced the challenges of a year and a half of long-distance love as Maddie pursued her bachelor's degree at Missouri State in Springfield, while Trevor began his career with Coca-Cola in STL. The distance couldn't keep us apart, and our love only grew stronger.

Fast forward to a cold December night three years later at Union Station in STL. On the Ferris wheel, Trevor, unable to wait, barely let the ride start before attempting to get down on one knee. The chilly air couldn't dampen the warmth of that magical moment, and Maddie said yes surrounded by the glittering lights of the city.

After that unforgettable proposal, we embarked on the exciting journey of planning our future together.

Our bond goes beyond romance; it's rooted in so many shared interests, like exploring the vibrant city of St. Louis and all it has to offer. We truly are best friends and love spending quality time together, playing games, and cherishing moments with our families and tight-knit group of friends.

Now, we find ourselves preparing for a day that marks the beginning of the next chapter in our love story. We're thrilled to celebrate with family and friends who have played integral roles in shaping our journey. Our two beloved cats, Enzo and Raven, will unfortunately not be there to witness the union of their favorite humans, but we will show them pictures!

As we eagerly look forward to our wedding day, we can't help but feel grateful for the love and support that surrounds us. We can't wait to share this special day with all of you and create even more beautiful memories together.

Cheers to love, laughter, and a lifetime of happiness!

Maddie & Trevor
