How We Met

First Came Oars, Now Comes I Do's

We met in high school through the Asheville Youth Rowing Association. Rowing brought us together — early mornings on the water, long practices, and plenty of time spent side by side in boats and on docks. Our first real conversation happened at the Head of the Hooch regatta. Graham broke the ice with a comment about geometry (yes, really), and it worked — Olivia ended up having a great time, and that moment marked the start of something that would grow over the years. Since then, we’ve shared a lot of life together — through college, big moves, and everyday moments. From teammates to partners, we’ve grown side by side. Now, we’re excited to take the next step.
