The Love Story

For Maddie and Jordan, it was love at first sight! The two met in a summer leadership program at Notre Dame and fell fast and hard. They endured long distance for the better part of a year before Jordan’s proposal. On Sanibel Island’s glittering beach, Jordan dropped to one knee and asked Maddie to join her life with his forever. It was an easy and enthusiastic “yes!” from her, and the two began planning their future together.
