At the time, Keith was in his freshman year at Colorado State University, and Maddy was attending University of Northern Colorado (these schools are about 30 minutes from one another in case you're unaware of the area). Maddy had plans to transfer to CSU for the second semester and had to attend a new-student orientation before starting. She was sitting in Kara's room (future roomie and current bridesmaid!) when she received a text from Keith that he wanted to take her out to dinner. After much convincing from Kara, Maddy decided to go on the date (hey, it was a free meal!). After Keith walked over to the dorm Maddy was staying at, they walked across the street to Qdoba. Keith ordered beef nachos and Maddy had a cheese quesadilla. Throughout the time at dinner, Maddy got in maybe a total of 10 words; Keith had the other 2,000 words. It was obvious Keith was nervous (though he will never admit it). After the date, Keith walked Maddy back to the dorm and left. As reluctant as Maddy was to go on the date, it ending up being a perfect night. It truly was the start of something new (cue High School Musical!).
