These two lovebirds began their story at none other than the University of Kansas, falling in love over their shared interests of friends, family, sports, and of course dogs. Fast forward to March 11, 2017, a day they’ll hold forever close to their hearts, starting their new adventure as Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb. Despite being on the cusp between the winter and spring seasons, about an inch of snow blanketed their picture-perfect day, turning it into a magical winter wonderland.

Following their “I Do’s” at Church of the Resurrection, the newlyweds cherished their time with close family and friends on a “limbusine” ride filled with laughter around Kansas City. And the true party began at the rustically romantic Lodge at Ironwoods where Madelyn and Evan, along with their guests, ate, drank, and danced the night away to funky jams provided by the live band, Lost Wax. What an unforgettable evening centered around the pair’s love for one another.

So, of course we’re delighted to reminisce on this special day with a recap from none other than the bride and groom! And many thanks goes out to Beau Vaughn for sharing some breathtaking moments with us.

How did he pop the question? Tell us your engagement story. It was my last graduate class and Evan had asked if we could go out to dinner to celebrate me finally finishing school. Little did I know that he would pick me up on that rainy evening only to pop the question in front of my amazing parents. We continued the celebration with friends and family at our favorite restaurant.
