Connor and Madeline met Freshman year of high school through their friend group. Sophomore year, Connor asked Madeline to see the Les Miserables movie as friends and Madeline mistook this for a date. Over the months, they grew closer and became fast friends. Later that year, Connor asked Madeline out on a an actual date - August 22nd, 2013, right before Junior year of high school started. Then and there at the Wilton Starbucks, history was made. *Scene*

On November 11th, 2022, Connor executed an extremely detailed and well thought out plan. Madeline was planning to meet Connor in the city at the Google office at Chelsea Market/Pier 57 and then meet friends for dinner. Madeline took the train in blasting Nutcracker music in her headphones, and went to go find Connor on the roof, of all places. There in the pouring rain, Connor got down on one knee and while neither of them remember anything specific about the moment, we are pretty sure Connor asked and Madeline said yes. Don't worry, it was all filmed and photographed by the extraordinary Ryan Peterson. That began a fantastic and unforgettable weekend of surprises and celebration with friends and family. Truly a weekend to remember. Shoutout to RBC faculty for covering for Madeline's unexpected absence from work and for keeping the plan a secret for so long!
