Our stories have been intertwined since before we were born. Our families have known each other most of their lives. Just like our loved ones before us, we grew up doing many of the same things: navigating life in a small town, spending most of our childhood days at the East Bay ballpark, eating the amazing rolls at Alpha Pizza, appreciating good music and loving anything related to the water - boating, fishing, scalloping and catching lobster in The Florida Keys. We went to the same high school, had mutual friends, and though our paths probably crossed hundreds of times, we didn't officially find each other until Covid. While the world shut down, we spent every moment getting to know each other and quickly fell in love. Things that were important to each of us became important to both of us. We love doing everything together - from a trip to Costco to a day at Disney. We enjoy lazy days just hanging out, spending a whole day on the water and making plans for our future.

After asking for her parent's blessing, on June 3rd, 2022, in true Florida native fashion, Brady proposed to Maddy on a beach. Even though Brady is not a huge fan of sand, he knew his girl had been raised loving the beach. True love has no bounds.

As their relationship grew, Maddy wanted to share her love for the Golden Isles with Brady. The moment they visited as a couple, it didn't take long for him to realize why the Isles were so special. They discovered some of the Island's treasures together - the natural beauty of Driftwood Beach, the abundance of delicious food, gorgeous hydrangeas in the spring, moss-draped oak lined streets, unspoiled marshlands and a rich history of years gone by. As their visits grew more frequent, they knew that the Golden Isles was the perfect place to share their vows.

They are so excited to share a place that means so much to them with all of the people who have loved and supported them during their journey to get here. True love stories don't have endings. They are so happy you are going to be a part of their beginning.
