Our Wedding

Our Story

We met through friends at the Chapel at Seaside. Madeline began attending a young adult Bible study in 2023 and quickly became close with Addie. A year later Addie started dating Duke, who brought his friend Clayton to church on Palm Sunday 2024. That morning, Madeline was serving in kids’ ministry as she often did. After the service, Addie introduced us with a smile and said, “The tallest one’s name is Clayton.” From that simple introduction, the Lord began writing our story.
