Andrew and Maddie met playing sand volleyball at Columbia College in October of 2020. Andrew likes to say Maddie “rejected” him, but she denies that to this day. However, this wasn’t actually the start of our story. We didn’t speak to each other until Andrew reached out to Maddie in January of 2021 over Instagram! That one DM started it all. 

We started dating January 18, 2021 and got engaged on July 1, 2024! Andrew proposed on the beach in Fort Morgan, AL with Maddie’s family and his parents there to witness it all!
