We met while Tyler was helping check-in new counselors during the summer of 2016, at Gold Arrow Summer Camp. Madi showed up with her best friend (shout out Rachel) and 1,000 pillows (Tyler's account of the meeting). Throughout the summer, Tyler made numerous attempts to get Madi's attention by: sneaking a pack of Chips Ahoy cookies into Madi's backpack, flipping her off a paddle board (trust us it was cute), and inviting her on a hike up the face of a hill. She eventually got the hint and took Tyler up on his offer of going on a hike together. Although Madi actually slipped a few times on the hike, that was when we both fell for one another and the rest is history.

Tyler convinced Madi to wake up at 4 am to make a trip to Gold Arrow Camp in hopes to see it covered in snow for the first time, during Thanksgiving break of 2019. Madi was secretly hoping they'd oversleep because she didn't want to make the drive to camp that early in the morning. Unfortunately, when they got to camp there was no snow, but to make the trip worth it, Tyler suggested they head to the spot on the lake where Tyler and Madi had their first date. As soon as they got to the spot, Madi began to say all of the things Tyler had planned to say before popping the BIG question. Tyler was a little thrown off but was able to seal the deal after he got down on one knee.
