Maddie received a text message from her friend Kasey the night of Super Bowl 2019. Kasey asked Maddie if she could give "this guy" her number. He was going to be moving to New York City and she thought the two would get along. Feeling elated from a Patriots win, Maddie said "Sure". Maddie started chatting with Nate that night and soon after he asked her if she wanted to go to a hockey game with him on February 10th. They planned to meet at a bar before the game. Nate walked into the bar with a button up shirt on and his Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and they spent 4 hours together on their first date. Their second date was a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner. And the dates just never ended. Nate and Maddie talked everyday slowly becoming closer. They went to restaurants all around NYC that Nate found. They traveled on Metro North trains to Wassaic countless amounts of times talking and giggling over a bottle of wine (or 2). Maddie fell in love with Nate's relaxed nature, his empathy, his thoughtfulness and his crystal green eyes. Nate fell in love with Maddie's ability to make him laugh, compassion, determination, and her smile. They continue to find new things they love about each other everyday. They are so excited to celebrate the start of their married life together with everyone. AND they are so excited to make Nate OFFICALLY Tilly's dad.
