Our Story
To understand the story of Olivia and Mark, you have to know Papa Franks Italian Restaurant.
Olivia started at Papa Franks during her senior year in highschool, and continued working there for all college breaks, while attending school at James Madison.
Mark started at Papa Franks during his freshman year at UVM, and worked through the school year, and went home to Shrewsbury for winter/summer breaks. So, although we were both on payroll at the same restaurant, we always seemed to miss eachother.
That is until COVID lockdown (March of 2020)- Olivia had to come home to Vermont from JMU, while Mark decided to stay in Vermont. This was the first time in 2 years that we had been in the same place at the same time. Quickly, a relationship sparked. Almost 5 years later, we're getting married, surrounded by our favorite people- family, friends from all over the country, and of course, the people who watched our relationship blossom in real time at Papa Franks.
For all the days along the way
