Our engagement in Charleston, SC
We first met like any modern couple: on Hinge. Our first date would become the first of many O’Henry dates, where countless hours were later spent studying, Jonah grinding away in med school at UAB and Olivia preparing for CFA exams. Jonah likes to recall that the very first thing he asked Olivia was, “How are you doing?” to which she replied, “I’m tired.” It was the day after daylight saving time, and this is when Jonah learned Olivia does not function well on one less hour of sleep. On this now-legendary first date, Olivia also confidently declared Hozier’s first album to be the greatest album of all time, a claim she no longer stands by. If you know Jonah and the music buff that he is, you may be surprised this relationship made it past date one. Despite all odds, date two followed, featuring a tennis match, fitting given our tennis obsession would fully materialize about a year later. By the third date, we were both done for, as we would later admit to each other, and realized we had found something special in one another.
