We met way back in 9th grade, but it wasn’t love at first sight. Our story took time to unfold. Jeremiah fell for Olivia, because of her kind heart and the way she included others. And Olivia fell for Jeremiah because of his compassion and how he served and loved those around him so selflessly. After realizing our mutual feelings for one another, we had to wait—not dating yet, because we were too young. Eleven months later, on Olivia's 16th birthday, we finally got to go on our first date. From that moment on, our bond only grew stronger. Through the years, we’ve learned what it means to love each other the way God calls us to love, and we've matured together in that journey. We have learned to love and appreciate who God created us to be and to understand that neither of us is perfect but we are so much better together than apart. In May of 2024, Jeremiah got down on one knee and proposed, and now we’re excited to step into this new chapter of life together as husband and wife!
