The appreciative daughter, 32, documented Bill’s dedication in a TikTok that has garnered more than 2,500,000 views, and showed her father, 64, working tirelessly to bring Madison’s vision to life. 

Madison, who called the process a ‘Father of the Bride experience,’ showed immense gratefulness towards Bill in her post, as she expressed: ‘[This] would not have happened without all his hard work. Beyond grateful for him.’

Bill gushingly shared with GMA, that the year-long project was an ‘honor’ for him to complete.

He went through the tedious process of getting rid of a water feature, expanding on the landscaping, setting up the lighting, and then eventually moving furniture around, with the help of family and friends.

The biggest transformation that had to take place was the painting of the house’s exterior, and Madison’s parents hired someone to get the job done, which was a win-win, because the two had been wanting to do so for some time. 

Bill was thankful for everyone uniting ‘to make [Madison’s] day special.’

The father lovingly expressed that when his wife Dena and himself were building the home 20 years ago, they dreamed of having life-changing moments in the home, such as a wedding.

Madison gushingly said that her wedding was ‘the best day of [her] life,’ and she added that ‘everyone was just blown away,’ by her father’s home transformation.

This isn’t the first time that a big moment was celebrated in the house.

Last summer, Bill hosted 60 people for their engagement party in the backyard.

Madison gushingly shared: ‘It meant the world to me. I feel super lucky. I feel like my parents are always all in for their children, and for the people that they love’

Madison shared with People that her parents are ‘natural entertainers,’ therefore, the pair got the idea that perhaps they should host their wedding at their house as well.

At first the newlyweds were hesitant about the idea, because they wanted Madison’s parents to ‘feel present for the day, and not feel like they had to be still on and entertaining.’

Despite exploring other venue options, Madison was set on having the wedding in the backyard, because she ‘always dreamed of getting married at the house.’ 

When she asked her parents what they thought, they were extremely excited about her idea. 

She gushingly shared: ‘It meant the world to me. I feel super lucky. I feel like my parents are always all in for their children, and for the people that they love. 

‘My mom was also a huge help. They both really went all in. There were a lot of people who loved us, that worked to make it what it was.

‘That has come to mean so much to me, and the whole day was just really, really special.’

Madison expressed that she posted the ‘wholesome’ video online, because she wanted to show her followers ‘how much [she] appreciated [her dad].’

As for future plans, Bill hopes to celebrate his 40th anniversary with his wife, by hosting their celebratory party in the backyard as well

Madison met Brandon right before the pandemic, on March 1, 2020.

The newlywed shared that the pair ‘immediately hit it off,’ and that their ‘relationship moved quickly.’

The lovebirds got engaged after dating for a few years, and then Brandon’s brother ended up marrying one of Madison’s best friends who originally set the two up.

As for future plans, Bill hopes to celebrate his 40th anniversary with his wife, by hosting their celebratory party in the backyard as well.
