As fast friends, they lived together for the rest of college and shared some of the best margaritas and memories. While it’s their drive that they’ve bonded over for years, Ragan wouldn’t be who she is today without Maddie constantly showing her how to let loose a little. Ragan is excited for a lifetime of Maddie’s passion for life, and is equally as excited to have cooler-than-a-cucumber Ben to go to when the passion gets a little too crazy!

Brendan (aka BB) is one of Ben’s friends from high school! Crazy enough, Brendan and Maddie have known each other since they were four years old when they would hang out at Maddie’s neighbor's house, but Ben and Brendan’s friendship started when they played on the same basketball team at Regis.

Lifelong childhood friends with Maddie, and high school buddies with Ben, Matt has long said that Ben and Maddie feel like a very "Mom & Dad" type couple to him. Navigating the way through the chaos of childhood with Maddie, and then developing some of the best memories of high school with Ben, Matt has a deeply- rooted attachment to both of them that is stronger than the Earth. Having met Ben and Maddie separately before knowing them together has given Matt a beautiful sense of never being a third wheel-- but rather an equal part of this group of two. Matt loves to reminisce on the serendipitous moment in the Regis Jesuit boy's locker room where it all came together, when Ben revealed that he was dating "a girl named Maddie"... Only to find out moments later that two of the people that Matt loves the most began their beautiful journey together-- after getting defensive about protecting Maddie! Eight years later, Matt has not a single shroud of doubt that Maddie & Ben are meant to be forever, and that there will always be a spot for him in their enormous hearts and beautiful lives.
