Some love stories are written in the stars, and for Simon and Madison, it all began in the familiar halls of their high school. These sweethearts have been inseparable since Madison’s junior year and Simon’s sophomore year, a journey that spans over five and a half wonderful years. Their first date was a charming visit to Huddle House for milkshakes, a simple yet memorable outing that almost didn’t happen due to Simon’s concussion from a basketball game earlier that day. Despite the rocky start, their bond only grew stronger, even as college took them 500 miles apart. After two years of long-distance love, they reunited in Joplin, Missouri, ready to start their lives together.
Their engagement story is as enchanting as their relationship. Both avid outdoor enthusiasts, Simon planned a proposal that was both breathtaking and heartfelt. On October 22, 2022, amidst the vibrant colors of late autumn, he took Madison on a hike to Whitaker Point in Arkansas. The destination was a stunning bluff with a panoramic view of a tree-filled valley. At the outlook, Simon asked Madison to strike a pose at the edge of the bluff. Growing impatient with the photoshoot, Madison turned around to find Simon on one knee, prompting her incredulous yet joyful exclamation, “You’re kidding me?” Overwhelmed with emotion, she could barely focus on his sweet words, eager to hug him and say “yes” to their future together.
For their wedding, Simon and Madison chose a romantic natural theme, incorporating a variety of natural elements into their ceremony. This theme perfectly complemented their love for the outdoors and their shared journey, from high school sweethearts to lifelong partners.
On their special day, Madison loved their intimate ceremony location, hidden in Glacier Park where she was able to be present, focused solely on Simon and the profound connection they share. It’s this deep bond and the moments they created together that make their love story so special.
