Zack and Madeline met in high school. Madeline was a freshman and Zack was a sophomore! The first time they were officially introduced was at homecoming in 2019. They had sat and talked the whole time totally oblivious to the world around them. After Homecoming, they talked almost every single night and would stay up late playing stupid games and arguing about even more stupid things. Eventually in January of 2020, Zack asked Maddie out for the first time. She said no... But after asking again, she still said no. When the third time came around, Maddie recognized his persistence and devotion to her and decided to give it a shot. Maddie had strong feelings for him but wanted to be good friends before dating. They started dating on February 6, 2020 and had their first date on Valentines Day. Soon after they started dating, the Covid-19 pandemic happened and they hadn't seen one another for about 3 months. It was a very difficult time for a new couple but they made it through it stronger than ever. Over the years, Zack and Maddie had their fair share of hardships but they always recognized how much they needed one another. Zack made the decision Maddie is the one that he wants to spend the rest of his life with and went ahead and bought a ring. He proposed on August 19th, of 2023 in Gulf Shores Alabama on the boardwalk at sunset. To say Maddie was shocked, was an understatement!
