Owen and Liza met through a mutual friend at Smorgasburgh, not knowing that such a simple introduction would change both of their lives. A little while later, Owen invited Liza to a Halloween party, Liza's favorite holiday. At the time, neither of them was looking to date anyone, but sometimes life has different plans, and faith had its own timing. What started as a simple friendship quickly turned into something much more. In the beginning of their relationship, Liza practically lived in Owen’s dorm on the weekends, where they spent their time making memories, laughing, and getting to know each other. Then COVID happened, and like many couples, they had to adapt, but through that time, their relationship only grew stronger. They learned how to support each other, how to grow together, and how to appreciate the little moments. Over the years, they have grown not only as a couple but as individuals, always challenging each other to be the best version of themselves and supporting each other through every stage of life. Owen and Liza love going on adventures, trying new foods, traveling, and saying yes to new experiences. But they also cherish the quiet, peaceful parts of life playing video games together, watching movies, and playing pickleball. No matter what they are doing, they are happiest when they are together. In 2024, during one of their many adventures together, Owen proposed to Liza in Greece, a place that perfectly reflects their love for travel, adventure, and experiencing new things together. It was a beautiful and unforgettable moment that marked the beginning of their next chapter. Their relationship has always been built on friendship, laughter, patience, and love. What they have is not just a relationship, but a partnership and a team. Over the years, they have become a role model and inspiration to many of their friends, who admire the love, respect, and support they have for one another. Owen and Liza are truly best friends who chose each other, and they continue to choose each other every single day. Now, they are so excited to start this next chapter of their lives together as husband and wife, and they can’t wait to celebrate their love surrounded by the people who have watched their story grow from the very beginning.
