Though they both spent years walking the same campus at Georgia Tech, Maddie and Keyton’s paths never truly crossed - until fate finally stepped in. On November 26, 2022, they found themselves seated together on a Greyhound bus to Athens for the Georgia Tech vs. Georgia game. The Jackets didn’t win that day, but something better started - a conversation that neither of them wanted to end. What began as easy chatter turned into something more, even with Maddie back in New York. A week later, she invited Keyton to visit, without realizing it would fall on her birthday weekend. From that trip on, weekends bouncing between New York and Atlanta became their thing, each one bringing them closer. By October 2024, they finally found themselves in the same state, and it didn’t take long for Keyton to know Maddie was the one. On August 15, 2025, with a full heart and a simple question, “Will you marry me?” their next chapter began. And the rest, as they say, is just the beginning.
