Chris and Madli's journey began in a place that sounds fancier than it actually is – Jolly Pumpkin, a spot in Royal Oak, Michigan. Chris, who was technically there to support his pals, quickly spotted Madli and threw his wingman role out the window. Armed with some cheesy pick-up lines, Chris tried his luck, only to have Madli shut it down. But here's the twist – it wasn't Chris' lines that won her over, it was his dance moves that were straight out of an '80s dance-off movie. Those moves had Madli entranced, and she found herself dancing into a romance she hadn't planned. Now, here's the second plot twist – their time together in Michigan was running out fast, given that Madli was about to start med school in Chicago. So, they filled that summer with baseball games, euchre nights (which involved more laughter than actual cards), and simultaneous cheering at sports events that ran the full gamut – from Chris coaching baseball to Madli conquering a half marathon. Then came the Chicago shift. Madli packed her stethoscope and moved, while Chris had to wait a bit to reposition his skills in the Windy City. Eventually, he pulled off a career move that brought him over to Chicago, all thanks to his top-notch finance skills. And oh boy, Chicago didn't know what hit it. They embarked on an athletic odyssey, playing tennis with a competitive fervor that could rival Grand Slam finals. Intramural softball and volleyball leagues witnessed their dynamic duo in action – making them the team to beat and providing top-tier entertainment for the league. But hey, it's not all sweat and sport. Chris and Madli are connoisseurs of Chicago's food and drink scene, on a mission to visit every restaurant and bar in the downtown area. As they continue to rule the Chicago streets, they've decided to throw another player into the mix – Viktor, their new dog who is likely to keep the dance party alive. So there you have it, the tale of Chris and Madli – from cheesy lines to epic dance-offs, from medical school to Chicago escapades, this couple is writing their story one adventurous chapter at a time.
