Maddie and Jackson’s love story began when they were just 12 years old. What started as a childhood friendship quickly grew into something more, with their first dates taking them to places like Kings Island, the movie theater, the mall, or anywhere else they could convince their parents to drop them off. Their relationship blossomed through junior high, high school, and college, where they both attended the University of Cincinnati. Over the years, their bond deepened as they grew up side by side, sharing countless memories and milestones. After college, Maddie and Jackson took the next big step and moved to Boston together to start their post-grad lives. Then, on June 27, 2024, Jackson pulled off the ultimate surprise. Maddie thought she was heading to a girls’ dinner with her sister and cousins, but instead, she was met with a moment she’ll never forget. By the water in Seaport, Jackson got down on one knee and asked Maddie to marry him. They ended the evening celebrating with family! Their story, which began so many years ago, has now come full circle, and they can’t wait to begin this next exciting chapter together.
