Sean and Maddie met in high school through a mutual friend in 2011. One night Maddie skyped Sean and his friend, and he stated it was love at first sight. Maddie was intrigued by who this cute, long-haired boy was who seemed to want to know everything about her. After watching him rock out on stage she, too, was hooked. Never had they found anyone that complimented their silliness, pushed them to grow, and loved them for who they were, until they met each other. On May 11, 2012 they officially began dating, and three months later Sean gave her a promise ring knowing she was his forever.
Sean and Maddie decided to have pictures done with their puppy at their favorite park. After a lot of laughter, and Sean shaking goose poop out of Stella's mouth, they decided to go up the hill to where their bench is. They spent many evenings in high school there eating ice cream and chicken strip baskets, talking about their futures, and enjoying the breeze. A special place that they will always visit and cherish forever. Sean asked Cassie, their photographer and longtime friend, if she had any pictures she would like to add to her portfolio. She smoothly said she wanted to practice different focusing, and had Maddie stand in front of her while Sean was in the background. When she told Maddie to turn around, tears were instant, and she said yes to the only forever she has ever imagined.
