Madi and Trey met during the second semester of their freshman year at Colorado State University, thanks to two close friends who believed that setting them up for a Date Dash was the perfect excuse for a memorable night. What began as a fun fraternity and sorority event quickly turned into something neither of them expected. From the very beginning, Trey knew there was something special about Madi. He made that clear the first time they spent time together, insisting he needed to get to know her better—and maybe even professing his love. Somehow, he was right. What followed were late nights filled with conversation, laughter, and a connection that quietly grew into something undeniable. Over the years, college memories turned into shared dreams, dorm rooms turned into a home, and a “set-up” date turned into a love that has grown stronger with every season of life. Nearly a decade later, Madi and Trey are endlessly grateful for the night that brought them together and the journey that led them here.
