Our first date was dinner in Dallas. Over martini's and wine, we discussed Maddies time in London, Michael's life in New York, and our future. Our second date lasted about 96 hours, spanning four days in New York City. We'd never laughed harder. The rest was history. After a year of distance, Michael moved back to Dallas in August, 2025 and he and Maddie moved into their new home. A few short months later, on October 17th, Maddie said yes!
