They met when Madison was 17 and Nathan was 18, at a weekend in Columbus, Georgia for high school students in theatre.

On the day they met, Nathan spent a whole workshop working up the courage to tell Madison he thought she was pretty. He told her at the very end of class.

Less than an hour later, they walked into a play at the same time. Nathan asked Madison if she would sit with him (she said yes).

After the play, he asked her on their first date. They went to a coffee shop together that same day! Madison knew he was interested in dating her, so she asked him about everything from his relationship with God to his relationship with his family.

Nathan didn't realize it at the time, but he fell in love for the first time during that first deep conversation.

Madison could tell.

The next day, he asked her to go to an art museum with him a month from then.

Not able to wait that long to see each other, they went on a date to dinner two weeks after. This was the night that Nathan caught on as to how deeply he felt.

They became an official couple at that art museum date. Nathan is Madison's first love, kiss, and significant other.

He was also her prom date!
