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?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
