Every great love story starts somewhere… ours began with a swipe right. Back in 2018, we met on Tinder, and what sparked our first conversation? Cats, of course. From the very first message, something just clicked. For two weeks straight, we talked nonstop — texting, calling, video chatting — like we'd known each other for years. By the time we officially met in person at Cracker Barrel for lunch, it already felt like we were a part of each other’s lives. That day, Maddie asked Alex to be her boyfriend — and have been inseparable ever since. What followed was seven beautiful years (and counting!) of love, laughter, and so many memories. We were college sweethearts, taking classes together and often realizing we’re literally the same person — but with our own quirks and differences that somehow fit perfectly together. From inside jokes only we understand to spontaneous road trips and camping under the stars, our adventures have taken us to seven different states, countless hiking trails, and even more unforgettable moments. In April of this year, we took a huge step and bought our first home together — a place where we’ll build a life, a family, and a future filled with love. As we celebrate our wedding and prepare for this next chapter, we’re reminded just how lucky we are to have found each other — all because of a dating app, a shared love of cats, and one unforgettable Cracker Barrel lunch. With love, Maddie & Alex
