They met through "mutual" friends (shoutout to Kyle Foley) from neighboring colleges. Maddie went to Drury and Kyle was at Missouri State just a few miles down the road. As friends started to intertwine, they ended up at the same birthday party for Mr. Brady Collier. What started with joking around, ended with two-stepping and talking all night. After college, they moved into a small apartment and Kyle was able to pull together a wonderful surprise proposal in the summer of 2022. Today they are one step closer to "til death do us part"!
