How We Met

First Comes School, then Comes Marriage

They met at SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry, while both studying for Bachelor's Degrees - Greg: Environmental Engineering, and Olivia: Aquatic and Fisheries Science. By chance they met through a common friend group. Greg wasn't very obvious with his flirting, whereas Olivia was a little more forward. Even though Olivia was nervous to be together with Greg, they couldn't ignore the chemistry between them both. After several weeks of Olivia being too scared to commit, Greg finally had Olivia wrapped around his finger. His humor, kindness, and ocean eyes finally made her realize that they were meant to be together.

Our Proposal Story

May 2019

They didn't have the most traditional proposal! Greg and Olivia had been talking about getting engaged for a while at this point. Greg said to Olivia, "Well, do you want to get married?", to which Olivia replied, "Not with that proposal!". A week or so passed, and while walking their dog, Scotty, Olivia asked Greg - "So should we get married, then?". Greg responded with a "Sure", and Olivia was not pleased - she wanted an excited "yes"! Later that day, Greg went to the grocery store to get dinner, but came back with more than that. He walked into the kitchen with a bouquet of flowers in a vase and said, "Hey lady, wanna get married?". Olivia said "yes!". After that, they picked out their engagement rings, and started wedding planning.
