Tanner and Madelynn's story is not something you would picture, but it is one of a kind. They met one another through mutual friends at a party in Fieldon, IL. As the weeks passed, they ended up seeing one another again, as fate would have it, at a bar in Batchtown, IL. Tanner can recall seeing Madelynn "as the blonde who wanted someone to play AC/DC." As time passed, they were inseparable. They began dating in August of 2021 and moved into their home in 2022. Their little family includes a Black Labrador Retriever named Doje, after his late grandmother Doris Jean, a cat named Ivy, nicknamed 'Stink', and another cat named Ruby. Tanner and Madelynn became engaged in December of 2023 and are counting down the days until they say 'I do.'
