We first met in the summer of 2009 at Camp Johnsonburg as counselors-in-training. Over the years we were part of a close friend group that stuck together even after we all stopped working at camp. Daniel and I were each other's last co-counselors in-unit. In the fall of 2015 Daniel asked me to a Grace Potter concert at The Fillmore in Philadelphia. This was the first of many adventures shared between us.

Four years later the same artist, Grace Potter returned to the same venue, The Fillmore. We had tickets to relive our first date all over again. Maddie took extra time picking out the right outfit, and when she came downstairs, she asked me how she looked. I told her she was beautiful, but she was missing one thing. I got down on one knee and asked if she would wear the same ring for the rest of her life. She is still wearing it - so far so good!
