It all began on August 31st at the salon where Keagan works as a hairstylist. Max had been going there since he was a kid to see her coworker, Jamie. After five years of working there, Keagan noticed Max one day and could not help but think he was pretty cute. Jamie, being the perfect matchmaker, decided to play Cupid. She asked Max if he was single, and when he said yes and that he was definitely interested, he left his number for Keagan. Looking back, neither of them can believe they had never noticed each other before. They had crossed paths so many times over the years, yet somehow never met. It is crazy to think how close they were all along. As they like to say, it just took the right time. They started texting that weekend, and from the very beginning, something felt right. That very first night, Max told Keagan he wanted to take her out, and they could not wait to meet each other. Just a few days later, on September 3rd, they went on their first date. Over drinks and appetizers, Keagan was not afraid to talk Max’s ear off, and he listened to every word, completely entertained and already smitten. The feeling was mutual, as Keagan could not help but be drawn to his calm energy and perfect mustache. Their second date was spent at his parents’ lake, sharing pizza, drinks, and conversation that felt effortless. By the end of that night, they both knew they had found something special. On September 19th, they made it official. A few months earlier, Keagan had welcomed her puppy, Scottie, and Max quickly became a dog dad, whether he liked it or not. It did not take long for Scottie to decide that Max was her favorite. On their one-year anniversary, Max planned the most beautiful surprise. He proposed at sunset at the Drayton Plains Nature Center, where Keagan’s best friend, Taylor, was secretly hiding nearby to capture the moment with stunning photos. Afterward, Max took Keagan to his parents’ home, where she was surprised to find both of their families waiting to celebrate. Of course, Scottie was there too. When you know, you know, and they just knew. Mark your calendars for June 5th, 2026, to watch them say “I do” and begin the next chapter of their forever together.
