Josh and Olivia met on a cold December day at the Milwaukee Public Market. Olivia’s younger brother Ben introduced the pair after he befriended Josh on the popular internet forum “Reddit.” The two instantly clicked but hesitated to make any moves... A spark was officially ignited during a second encounter the following February when Ben brought Josh and a few friends to visit his hometown in Illinois. At breakfast, the two bonded after agreeing to split a slice of chocolate French toast. From then on, Josh badgered Ben to help set them up, even going as far as to clean his dirty kitchen as a form of bribery. So, on one fateful Sunday morning in April, Ben picked Josh up to go down to Illinois and ask Olivia out on a first date. The pair quickly discovered they had a lot in common, from a love of EDM music and Japanese food to a shared passion for travel and hiking. Their connection blossomed on their first official date the following Saturday. What started off as a walk through the Chicago Botanical Gardens followed by a Cubs game escalated into a 24 hour marathon date that included steak dinner, espresso martinis, late night dancing with friends, a movie, and Easter morning brunch. By the time their second date rolled around they decided to just take a leap of faith and move into Josh’s Milwaukee apartment together, making a heartfelt promise to navigate life together.. This year marks that promise coming to fruition. They look forward to celebrating their love with you!
