Griffin and MacKenzie’s love story began their senior year of high school in the most unexpected—and delicious—place: Chick-fil-A. Griffin was already working there, while MacKenzie was simply stopping by for lunch with her mom. As fate would have it, Griffin was the one who brought their food to their car. With a warm smile and a quick hello, something small but memorable sparked. As they enjoyed their meal, MacKenzie’s mom suggested she apply for a second job at Chick-fil-A. MacKenzie took her advice, not knowing she was stepping into the first chapter of something much bigger. On just her second day on the job, she ran into Griffin again. This time, it wasn’t just a brief exchange. That very night, they went out to dinner—and from that moment on, everything changed. What started with waffle fries and a job application quickly became late-night talks, shared dreams, and a deep connection. Over the next seven years, they built a beautiful life together—filled with love, laughter, multiple apartments, a home to call their own, and now, a sweet baby on the way. They’ll always be thankful for that chance encounter at Chick-fil-A, and a little help from Mom, for serving up the beginning of forever.
