It all started on Violet Lane, where summers were filled with lake days, bonfires, and July 4th celebrations. Maddy's family cabin shared a neighborhood with Ty's best friend, Mitchell Max, making it inevitable that their paths would cross.

Though three years apart and attending different colleges, Maddy and Ty only had one chance each year to see each other - July 4th weekend. It was a time of live music, boating, laughter, and late nights by the fire. For years, they shared brief moments, but the timing was never quite right.

That all changed during the summer of 2021. Maddy was newly single, and Ty was ready to take a chance. On a warm July night, under the stars and perhaps with a little liquid courage, the two found themselves inseparable and talking for hours on the Max's family hammock. It was there that Tyler thought "She's my person". Maddy thought, "He's so sweet-I don't want this to end." From that night forward, Ty earned the nickname "Sweet Ty".

A few weeks later, Ty asked Maddy on their first official date at The Loop in West End. Over pizza and endless conversation, the spark between them only grew stronger. It felt like they were finally picking up where years of cabin weekends had left off.

Not long after, Ty asked Maddy to be his girlfriend at Lord Fletcher's, and the rest, as they say, is history.

From Violet Lane to forever, their journey began in the most unexpected way - at the place where their love story first took root.
