Maddie and Bry both worked at Columbia Sportswear, eventually becoming supervisors. Let's be honest, it was a rocky start! They could not stand being around each other in the first year of working together. They continuously wanted to win over our General Manager and be the store favorite. Realizing what Bry and Maddie were doing, he forced them to do any and all the projects around the store... together. Fast forward five years, here they are, engaged and about to be married!

June 17th is Maddie's birthday! Bry planned the whole day out, down to the minute. She invited a group of friends from all over Ohio (and New Mexico) to come celebrate that day. Maddie and the girls started off at the nail salon (which was odd because Maddie never has her nails done), grabbed some coffee, and journeyed to Blues Creek Park in Ostrander, OH. They were met with family and more friends at an outdoor gazebo that overlooked the whole park. Everyone ate some pizza, Cane's chicken, and dessert. Yum! Maddie began to open gifts when Bry snuck behind Maddie, gave her a photobook, and proposed! Hard to top that birthday now, huh?
