These Cringeworthy '80s-Themed Engagement Photos Prove Fancy Couples' Photoshoots Are So Yesterday

As we grow up and work our way through college and navigating “adult life," most of us find that “special someone." For Mason Whitis and Madison Moxley (both 23 years old), they did exactly that.

The couple is from Louisville, Kentucky and they met and have been together for over 2 years. According to Madison's Facebook post sharing their story, they met on Tinder and then met up at Kohl's — about which she writes "don't do that kids" — and they ended up talking all night.

Madison said she thought about long-term goals (marriage) for their relationship when she heard love songs or watched movies about love and would just start sobbing. Madison said she knew he was “the one" because he loves her so much and makes her feel so loved.

On September 1st, Madison announced their engagement.

How did they announce their engagement, you ask? With hilariously cringe-worthy photos of 80s-themed photos taken at J.C. Penney, which she later posted on social media.

Like this...

Madison shared that humor and laughter have always been an important part of their relationship, so when Mason (who apparently loves the aesthetic behind the classic '80s cringe studio photos) came up with the idea of this kind of engagement photoshoot, she just went with it because it showed the unique-ness of their relationship and she swears they can't do anything without being “extra."

But one thing they never expected was that it would go viral. Madison's announcement post now has 15k likes and 16k shares. She says they wanted to do something funny regarding their photos so they could have something to look back on and laugh about it.

And, for now, Mason and Madison win the internet with the best engagement photos I've seen in a long time. Who needs a fancy photographer out in an open field in a sundress when you have sweaters, long socks, and your hair tied in a scrunchie?

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
