their love story

In a world where timing is everything, Madison and Chance's love story proves that some connections are simply meant to be. Their paths first crossed in 2018, at Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Though their initial meeting sparked an instant connection, with both recalling the magnetic moment their eyes met, it would take another year before their story truly began.

Their first date, a casual lunch at SQZBX, revealed what would become a cherished weekly tradition…their shared love of pizza! This simple pleasure would later make a meaningful appearance at their wedding celebration, perfectly embodying how the couple intertwines their everyday joy into life's grandest moments.

When it came time to propose, Chance chose their family vacation at Garden City Beach for the perfect moment. His suggestion of a beach walk, something notably out of character, immediately caught Madison's attention. As they strolled along the pier, a supposedly random photographer appeared, asking to take their photos. Madison could feel Chance's heart racing as they posed, moments before he dropped to one knee and changed their lives forever.

For the big day, Madison selected a stunning mermaid gown with a regal high neckline and capped sleeves accented with lace appliques. A row of ivory buttons cascaded down the low back adding a bit of spice to this timeless ensemble. Chance also took an elegant approach to his look for the day, sporting a classic black tuxedo. Later, Madison surprised everyone at the reception by arriving in an adorable strapless mini dress with a ruffled skirt and plunging neckline.

As Madison and Chance exchanged vows under the Hot Springs sky, surrounded by family, friends, and countless personal touches, it was clear that their timing had been perfect all along.

A breathtaking 12'x18' rigging system draped with lush greenery and cascading roses, by Vase and Vine, created an enchanted forest feel above the dance floor, transforming their reception into a fairytale setting. In a nod to their weekly tradition and first date, the couple served late-night pizza from DeLuca's, a detail that perfectly captured their laid-back approach to love and life. A unique "confessional" phone booth invited guests to share funny stories about the couple, while two photo booths captured the night's joyful moments. It's these thoughtful touches that transformed their wedding from a beautiful event into a deeply personal celebration.
