Like all great love stories, Maddie and Joey's began the modern way… on Tinder. Joey’s opening line? A poetic and unforgettable “What’s up?”—clearly, the sparks were flying right away. Maddie knew from that moment he was probably the one (or at least good at small talk). They spent their first two dates on the golf course, which quickly became one of their favorite shared hobbies—and a great way to see how they handle losing. Spoiler: Maddie’s the competitive one. From early on, they knew this was something special. Joey makes Maddie feel seen, heard, and completely herself—and he never misses a moment to show he’s paying attention. Maddie makes Joey feel safe, understood, and constantly entertained by her goofiness (and her love for the chickens). Not long after they started dating, Joey hit the road for work—months at a time, for nearly two years. It wasn’t easy, but it made their bond stronger than ever. After his travels, they finally planted roots, bought their first home in Highland, and built a little life full of love (plus a boxer named Nash and five unpredictable chickens). Now, four years later, they're saying "I do" with a whole lot of laughter, love, and a golf cart not too far away.
