Our Wedding

8 years ago seems like a different lifetime. Just reading the words “2013” is giving me back pain. In 2013, the Dark Knight Rises hit theaters. Ohio State was one year into their winning-streak against Michigan. Justin Timberlake released his hit 20/20 album (Mrs. Voiers remembers that for sure). We were introduced to our beloved Olaf from Frozen. I’m pretty sure Sperrys were still in style… and Maddie and Jake first met. Bay High School introduced these two. The first time they hung out was at a grad party where Maddie enjoyed a few beers, and Jake was quick to love the tipsy girl who couldn’t stop laughing. It wasn't long before Jake made the first move and asked Maddie out on their first date. They went to a drive-in movie, and Jake (probably still thinking girls had cooties) sat 3 feet away from Maddie because he was too nervous. For some reason, that didn’t scare away Maddie and the two continued to go on dates. After hitting it off, they became best friends and eventually started dating July 20th, 2013. They finished up high school in 2014 and 2015 and the next 4-5 years, they grew together at Ohio University. From frat parties, date parties, student teaching and just a few nursing classes thrown in there, I think I can speak for all of Maddie and Jake’s friends when I say it was truly something special watching these two transition from best friends to soulmates. They set the bar sky high as far as what a committed, loving relationship looks like; we all adored and envied at the same time waiting for our own Maddie or Jake. They’re always laughing and joking with each other like the honeymoon phase never ended. I always love the way that Jake looks at Maddie when she walks in the room; it’s the same way Maddie looked at Ian Specials when she walked into Crystal. They’re just in love. Jake’s senior year, he lavaliered Maddie making her a forever Phi Psi Brother. In front of all of their friends, Jake proclaimed that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Maddie. After graduation, Jake and Maddie got their first apartment in Terminal Tower. More importantly, this was the year they picked up their beloved puppy Hank. In April 2021, they headed back to where it all began and bought their first house in Bay. Jake’s proposal was nothing short of perfect. On June 18, 2021, he sent Maddie on a scavenger hunt to places around Bay that were sentimental to them, including their first date spot, Bay High School, the house where they first met, and their first house. Their friends and family surrounded the newly engaged to celebrate over many, many beverages. On July 9th, 2022, Maddie and Jake will say “I Do!” After 9 years together, they get to finally start their forever.
