Max and Carly met in 2014 when Max transferred from St. Rose to Franklin in the 6th grade. Since Max was a transfer student, he was placed at the bottom of the alphabet for lockers, and was placed right next to Carly. From then until Summer of 2019, Max and Carly had a healthy feud going on that we, now, chalk up to weird pre-teen flirting.

On June 24th, 2019, Max asked Carly to be his girlfriend at his parents house with a large McDonalds Diet Coke, White Cheddar Cheez-its, a Franklin football hoodie, and reusable straws (that still live at Carly's parents house lol). Since that day, they have celebrated a high school and a college graduation, gone to several dances and formals, traveled to many new places, got a cat, then a dog, and started careers together. They have grown up together and spent the last 6 years becoming the best of friends. There is not enough space to write about all of the growing they have done together and the memories they have created but their proudest aspect of their relationship is the people that have been with them throughout their life together, and the family and friends they get to share.
