As a member of the dance team in college, Madison and her team put together a guy-girl dance to end the year. Lane and his friends volunteered to help and he two ended up running into each other at a mutual friends house the night after the performance. Chatting about the performance and a variety of other things, the two hit it off. A few days later, Lane asked Madison to go to a movie and dinner which continued for the next few months but they hadn’t “made it official” yet.
Lane asked Madison to drive a few hours to his aunt’s house to drop off some chairs and the two ended up at a huge family surprise 50th birthday party. His aunts spent the night asking the couple if they were dating and then why they weren’t dating. On the car ride home, they went to the local bar and got a Junk Basket (an appetizer basket filled with various fried foods) and Madison told Lane he “could just tell everyone they were dating”. To this day, they still laugh about that story and make a point of getting a Junk Basket every time we are in that town.
Madison and Lane chose to do their engagement session at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, the spot they were engaged last winter. It was a beautiful summer evening. We wandered the park to the bottom of the falls where Lane popped the question to a place in the creek where the two were incredible sports and waited in the water. We then headed out to do a champagne pop as the light was fading. It was an incredible day and I can’t wait for their summer wedding at Croix View Farm in Osceola, Wisconsin!
