Maddie and Sean met during their sophomore year at Miami University, thanks to their mutual friend McKenzi (the Maid of Honor!). After a few months of Sean's pursuit, they started dating in November 2018.

Sean commissioned into the Air Force upon graduation, and received orders to Shaw AFB, South Carolina. Maddie and Sean eagerly waited to move down south and start their life together.

They moved in April 2022 with their cat, Smudge. Since then, they've settled in, bought their first house, and adopted a puppy, Nova!

In February 2024, on a weekend trip to Greenville, Maddie and Sean visited the Falls Park, where Sean got down on one knee and Maddie said "Yes!"

Maddie and Sean are looking forward to the next chapter of their lives and tying the knot in Cleveland, OH. They can't wait to celebrate with friends and family at the Ariel Pearl Center!
