Payton was a junior at TCU working as a Resident Assistant in Marion hall and it just so happened that Olivia was his resident. After "accidentally" bumping into each other several times in the first few weeks of school, Olivia and Payton spotted one another across the dance floor of her first sorority event. Four days later, on a hot August Tuesday, they went on their first date at McAlister's where Olivia ordered hot tomato soup. Payton thought that was weird, it was way too hot for soup, but not too weird because here they are (5 years later) getting married.
