Maddie and Al always knew of each other from the time they spent together at Glens Falls High School and Siena College, but they never thought much of it. Al is also good friends with Maddie's sister's fiancé, Cam. One night Maddie came home from Boston and asked her sister to go out in Saratoga. Her sister asked Cam to come, so he called for back up and asked Al to come along. Off they went to Saratoga and that's where their lives would change. The night started with a round of darts ... Al and Maddie dominated as "Team Siena." The rest is history!

When Al and Maddie arrived in Palma de Mallorca, everything seemed perfect and Al decided that a boutique hotel restaurant they passed while exploring the city would be the perfect place to ask! That evening, he excused himself from the dinner table to "use the bathroom," mustered all the Spanish he could to ask the waiter to capture the moment, and came back in and got down on one knee. Through happy tears Maddie gushed, "YES!"
