Our Story

September 2007 - It all started when we met on the first day of 7th grade. Aaron had just transferred to Chittenango. We quickly became best friends (although Aaron always wanted to be more).

September 17th, 2010 - On this day, almost exactly three years after we met, Aaron finally left the friend zone & asked me to officially be his girlfriend following the football pep rally.

June 2013 - We knew we wanted to make our relationship work after high school, long distance or not. Maddie started her freshman year at Rochester Institute of Technology, and Aaron at Buffalo State.

For the entirety of our college years we were long distance. Maddie studied abroad in Italy & moved to NYC, while Aaron lived in Rochester attending school and playing on the Fisher football team.

May 31st, 2019 - Maddie got a job in Rochester allowing her to move to Rochester. After 6 years of long distance, we were so excited to finally start our life together!

Aaron planned the most perfect engagement weekend full of surprises, our closest family and friends, and memories that will last a lifetime.
