How did you first meet?

We were students at Dillard University who became close friends during our freshman year. Both of us were presidential ambassadors (aka the coolest people on campus).

Who made the first move? How?

Joshua was the pursuer. He asked Madison out to a festival in the city their junior year, and she finally went on a date with him.

What is the best meal you have eaten together?

We found the most incredible Cajun and Creole restaurant in Dallas! The specials constantly change so we try to go as often as possible to try it all. Be sure to remind us to take you out when you come visit us.

Tell us the engagement story.

We were in Paris. Joshua had planned the entire trip with surprises to be revealed on each day. Joshua planned the proposal for the second day of the trip. First, he took Madison to the Seine River across from the Eiffel Tower where he officially asked her to become his wife. During the proposal, he had a photographer capture the special moment followed by a surprise photoshoot.

After the photoshoot, Joshua knew Madison would be in dire need of food. He scheduled a river dinner cruise for the two to enjoy the scenery and the moment together. Just when Madison thought that the day was over, Joshua took her to see Beyonce on her Renaissance World Tour that night.

The trip continued with other surprises, such as a trip to Disneyland Paris, a private spa, dinner in a museum, and unforgettable experiences.

Needless to say, saying yes was the easiest decision Madison had made.
