It all started by the basketball courts during “recess” on the first day of sixth grade. At first, Max couldn’t tell the difference between Maddy and her best friend Kristen (considering they used to wear matching outfits to school), but he quickly laid eyes on Maddy. The stars aligned with Max and Maddy both being in the same homeroom. Once our friends found out we liked each other, Max was forced (literally, by his friends pushing him towards Maddy) in the hallway to ask Maddy out. Fast forward, two days, when Maddy broke up with Max at the holiday bowling trip. After getting back together during middle school lacrosse season, nothing could keep us apart. Until....Maddy didn’t want a boyfriend for the summer going into eighth grade. Luckily, summer doesn’t last forever! From proms, shared classes, and high school sports, Max and Maddy started to grow from childhood crushes to high school sweethearts. After college, we both moved to Philly where we have enjoyed so many great times with our friends and family close by. We’ve traveled the world and experienced some unforgettable trips together (one of our favorites being Barbados!). Max proposed in winter of 2020, and the rest is history. We can’t wait to start our next chapter together with all of you there to celebrate with us!
