Maddie and Tyler met sometime in 2018 while living in Austin, Texas. They shared a mutual friend, Tyler's groomsman Billy, so often ended up running into each other at the same social events. They quickly bonded over college football- Tyler impressed with Maddie's love and obsession with Texas sports, Maddie intrigued by Tyler's iPhone streaming the Longhorn game at the Halloween party they were both at. Tyler finally asked Maddie for her number on New Years' Eve. They're both extremely glad Texas beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl the next day because it made for an easy opener for Tyler. Maddie says she probably wouldn't have responded to his text if they'd lost. (She still made him wait over four hours before responding though). They went on their first date to Matt's El Rancho a few days later, and their love for Matt's Mexican martinis (and each other) only grew from there. Maddie and Tyler quickly realized they loved spending time together, and this was only made more clear after spending 24/7 together in 2020 quarantine and loving every moment of it. Rose wasn't as quick to warm up to her new "stepmom," and put Maddie through a few chewing incident tests at the beginning involving designer accessories and a retainer. She eventually came around, realizing the love her parents had was something special, and was happy to add Maddie to the "pack." Tyler popped the question on July 3, 2020, while in Dallas, TX visiting family. We are overjoyed to see what the future holds in our wonderful life we've started together. We cannot wait to celebrate our special day with our family and friends!
