We are High School sweethearts! We were both athletes, (Cheer for Maddie, Wrestling for Marshall), and had mutual friends making it easy to connect. Both of us claim to have made the first move, Maddie asking a wrestler to set us up, but Marshall texting first. So you decide... We instantly liked each other and dated on and off throughout High School. While the first move claim is up in the air, Marshall did say I love you first, in October of 2017. We became official a year and a half later in 2019, dating for a year before we both served church missions. We wrote each other throughout our missions and stayed as close as we could while separated across the country. When we finished our missions we had a crazy few months and took some time apart. Through many experiences and a lot of self reflection, we both just knew that we didn't want anything else other than each other. Our time apart was so special because it solidified our love that has been growing since we were 16. Since then we have never been happier. We love this new relationship we have built and are over the moon that we get to make this a forever thing. One thing we have always said since High School talking about marriage is that our "one day" would come. Through every trial, heartache, and lesson learned we are finally making our one day a reality.
