We first met in May of 2019 at Big Woods Pizza in Nashville, Indiana. It started out as just a summer job for both of us — Madelyn had just finished her freshman year of college, and Seth had recently completed basic training and AIT. Neither of us could have guessed that a simple summer job would change our lives forever. Throughout that summer, we became fast friends. Long shifts turned into long talks, and soon we were spending time together outside of work. By October 11, 2019, we officially started dating. Madelyn had just begun her sophomore year of college in Indianapolis, and Seth made countless drives up to see her every chance he got. Over the years, our relationship has been filled with distance, dedication, and a lot of road trips. We’ve met halfway just to share a quick meal, driven hours for less than a day together, and endured days, weeks, and even months apart. But if there’s one thing distance has taught us, it’s that every moment together is a gift, one we never take for granted. If you know us, you know we’re complete opposites in almost every way. Madelyn is type-A — organized, detail-oriented, and always planning ahead. Seth is type-B — laid back, easygoing, and steady through it all. But together, we balance each other perfectly. Where one is strong, the other is soft; where one is restless, the other brings calm. (I am 100% not the calm and always told to calm down by everyone - Madelyn 😊) Our story hasn’t always been simple, but it has always been worth it. Over the years, we’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and memories. Including our two sweet cats who keep us endlessly entertained. And in November 2025, we reached another big milestone together: building and moving into our very first home. Now, surrounded by the people we love most, we’re ready to begin this next chapter.
