We're getting married!

Maddie and Ryan met the old-fashioned way—on a dating website—but their first date felt anything but ordinary. What was meant to be a quick meetup turned into four hours of nonstop conversation, laughter, and an immediate sense that something was different… even though there was no hug goodbye (a detail Ryan still loves to mention). As they continued seeing each other, they realized just how much they had in common—right down to Maddie’s excitement when she found out Ryan had Cody Johnson tickets she really wanted to go to. Maddie fell in love with Cooper first, Ryan’s sweet ol’ puppy, and then with Ryan himself. Eventually, after plenty of convincing on Maddie’s part, a second dog joined the crew—Arya, who is undeniably crazy but loved just the same. Their story is one of connection, patience, learning, and joy—two people who bring out the best in each other, supported by one sweet old pup and one wild one who keeps life interesting.
