Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Our story begins on the grounds of Calvin University on the very first night of our freshman year. We happened to be in the same dorm, Noordewier-VanderWerp, and the RAs were hosting trivia on our dorm’s sunroof. Maddie and her good friend Annie decided to check it out and there they saw Tanner who was actively participating in the trivia questions, even though he was not getting many correct. 	Throughout freshman year, Maddie and Tanner became a part of the same friend group and enjoyed the fun that comes with college and constantly being around your friends. Eventually, the pandemic hit and everyone was sent home in March. Maddie and Tanner stayed in contact with each other and their other friends, but over time started talking more and more, becoming closer friends throughout their sophomore year.	Flash forward to junior year, the two finally started dating. That year, they enjoyed many Chick-fil-A dates, testing out new versions of Uno, and going on fun dates. Tanner also enjoyed going to Starbucks more often :) Senior year came and went quickly and before they knew it graduation was upon them. Maddie later began her first teaching job back at Chicago Christian in Tinley Park while Tanner stayed in Holland to start his career. They’ve been making long distance work with lots of weekend visits and are looking forward to the next chapter starting on June 13!
