Rudy and Mady met through serving together at the high school ministry from their church. Rudy and his friend Sholly went up to Mady after service to meet her, since they've never seen her around before. Rudy asked Mady what she liked to do for fun. After not knowing what to say to that question, Mady went home and made a list of her favorite things to do. Their conversations became more and more frequent and Rudy became interested. After a couple of weeks one of Rudy's friends and one of Mady's friends were talking about them at a party and realized they were both into each other. This conversation gave Rudy the courage to ask Mady out on a date. After a high school service, Rudy was walking to the parking lot and when he looked back, he saw Mady walking to the parking lot as well. He waited a bit and pretended to tie his shoe in order to give her time to catch up. They ended up walking to the parking lot together and they were chatting for bit. Then Rudy asked if she would like to grab a coffee with him that Saturday morning. They ended up hitting it off and chatted at coffee for over 3 hours. After that day they both knew they found something special and about a month later Rudy asked Mady to be his girlfriend and they have been best friends ever since!
