We met at Liberty University in January of 2016 as I was finishing up my Graduate degree at Liberty University and my 5th year of softball. Chris, a junior studying Sport Management at the time, happened to be good friends with a manager on the team. We began talking and spending time together and as friendship turned into much more, we both realized what we had was something very special.

The Groom: Chris Madden Current Job: Athletic Director at Smith Mountain Lake Christian Academy  Hometown: Clemmons, NC How I would describe myself: I am aspiring sneakerhead aka "I collect shoes". I love competing in any sporting event I can find as well as coaching basketball and lacrosse. A personal hobby of mine is making Chandler's dreams come true (no she didn't write this). What I love most about Chan: Chandler is the perfect compliment for my relationship with the Lord. She constantly pushes me to follow Him closer through; prayer, scripture, and her daily walk with Christ. The Bride: Chandler Ball Current Job: Communications Coordinator for the American Conservative Union and CPAC, amateur wedding planner Hometown: Who knows? I'm an Air Force brat How I would describe myself: Connoisseur of Golden Retrievers, Running Pants, and all things political. What I love most about Chris: Simply put, he is the most passionate man I have ever met. From his walk with the Lord, to the way he coaches younger kids, and most of all the way he has pursued me with whole-hearted passion is nothing short of amazing. This passion makes life richer in so many ways and I thank God He created such a man just for me.
