In 2019 Olivia went to visit her good friend (and now maid of honor) Madelyne, who was friends with Luke, at Appalachian State University. They clicked instantly as friends, and their friendship continued when Olivia started her degree at App State the next year. But, in 2020, Luke and Olivia began talking more often to pass the time when they were forced to move home at the start of the COVID pandemic. After endless texts and Facetime calls, Luke moved back to Boone, Olivia moved back shortly after, and they realized they were in love. Their relationship continued in Boone, and also through Luke graduating and living two hours away in Concord for over a year and a half. Finally, Olivia's graduation was coming soon and she already had plans to move to Concord with Luke, and he had plans of his own and proposed in November 2022! We have enjoyed every second of being engaged and cannot wait for our future together!
