Blake and Maddie have known each other since middle school. They met at Grove Church at a Junior High group and quickly became friends. Blake, however, with his chubby cheeks and dimples always thought of Maddie as more than a friend. Maddie with her "batman" t-shirt and flower crowns was not really thinking of anybody at the moment. As life went on, around their sophomore year of high school, they tried to make something happen but unfortunately had no luck. It wasn't until their senior year that Blake finally had the courage to officially ask Maddie out. On their first date he took her thrifting and taught her how to play lacrosse at Griffin Park. As they were walking around the park, he finally confessed to her his feelings that he apparently has had for years. She admitted she felt the same way. Now almost four years later, they're getting married!! They have so much fun together and love serving in youth ministry together. The Lord has blessed this couple with amazing friends, family, and community to uplift them in all seasons of their lives!
