Cooper and Madi's journey kicked off on the very first night of their freshman year at Liberty University in August of 2017. They had some mutual friends and found themselves in the same group hanging out. Right from the start, Cooper had his eyes on Madi. However, Madi was not interested. Over the next four years, they grew closer but remained just friends. Cooper wished for more, but Madi took her time (to say the least) to come around. Fast forward to the fall of 2020, and things took a turn for the better. Two of their closest friends decided to play matchmakers and invited them to dinner. The night couldn’t have gone any better, and from there, Cooper and Madi started spending more and more time together. Finally, in May of 2021, Cooper gained the courage to ask Madi to be his girlfriend. The following year as an official couple brought a slew of new experiences. From family vacations and concerts to shared holidays, everything began falling into place. On April 6, 2023, Cooper decided it was time to take the next big step and proposed to Madi. After the proposal, Cooper accepted a job opportunity in Florida, and together, they’ve grown closer together while navigating through a long-distance relationship. Post-wedding, Madi will be joining Cooper as they embark on their married life together in Palm Coast, Florida.
