We met (in-person) on the day we needed to come back to school and proctor the ACT. Both of us knew we were in big trouble. The chemistry was palpable. We didn't want to stop talking to each other. While we don't believe in love at first sight, we think we're as close to that as possible. And from then on, it would've been impossible to stop the inevitable.

One of the many fun parts of being an LGBTQ+ couple is that we get two proposals. Madison surprised Natalie in Paris with a proposal near the Eiffel Tower. Natalie's first response was, "Is this real life?" Eventually she got her way to saying, "Yes!" Natalie surprised Madison at midnight on New Year's Eve at Madi's favorite beach in San Diego. It was absolutely pouring rain, and yet we couldn't have been laughing more or been happier. See you in Nashville!
