“Maddy and Pat’s love story began in high school, where they met and started dating their senior year while running on the track team together. Their connection only deepened as they both chose colleges in Southern California, building a life together in Los Angeles while making unforgettable memories. Even when grad school took them to opposite sides of the country, their love remained steadfast through years of long-distance travel. Over the last 11 years, they have shared milestones, adventures, and a tight-knit community of friends and family. After settling into their first home in Santa Monica, Pat proposed at sunrise in Malibu in July of 2023—an intimate and breathtaking moment that set the stage for their next chapter. Choosing to get married in Lake Tahoe was an easy decision, as summers on the West Shore had been a cornerstone of their relationship. Their wedding was a dreamy lakeside celebration that carried on well into the night, filled with heartfelt details that reflected their journey together. Guests found their seats at tables named after the couple’s favorite Tahoe spots, a nod to the place that holds so much meaning in their hearts. One of the most special surprises of the evening was their wedding cake, which was designed with intricate details inspired by Maddy’s dress—an element she kept a secret from Pat throughout the planning process. With the stunning lake as their backdrop, they danced beneath the stars, surrounded by the people who had been part of their love story from the very beginning. It was a night filled with laughter, love, and the magic of a Tahoe summer—a perfect reflection of the life they’ve built together.”
