The first time we met was freshman year of college living in the same dorm on the same floor after Maddie transferred to UMass Lowell. We saw each other in passing, said hi occasionally, but it wasn't until junior year that we started to become friends. We began working together for the school, Alex with a year under his belt already, showed Maddie the ropes and eventually we started hanging out outside of work. He introduced Maddie to his friends and a few months later started dating after going to a party together. Almost 9 years later we are still together and can not wait to get married with all our friends and family there to celebrate!
