We met on on July 1st, 2020 --a hot summer day during the COVID-19 pandemic. We walked around the lake at the Como Park pavilion, went to out eat, and talked until almost 11pm. That first date lasted over 8 hours which was most likely a foreshadow to how much time we love to spend together.

Our relationship has gone through many changes over the years. We both moved in together in July of 2021 in a three bedroom apartment in Como Park, located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We were both excited to learn how we react to each other every day in the same space.

Changes to our relationship tend to happen in July, as in July 2022 Landyn was offered a position as a German Faculty Member at Wayland Academy (his Alma Mater). Olivia was pretty unsure on this big change and wanted to stay in the Twin Cities.

To say that long distance was a challenge would be an understatement. We spent hours every couple days talking on the phone with each other. We always tried to see each other at least one weekend a month. There was laughter, tears, and disagreements, but our love for each other persevered. It was truly one of the most challenging phases of our relationship.

In June of 2023, Landyn proposed during a family vacation at the Grand Moon Palace in Cancun, Mexico. The photos speak for themselves and capture all the emotion of the moment.

It didnt take long for Olivia to agree moving down to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Life couldn’t have turned out any better! We live in a wonderful two bedroom apartment on campus. We both have gotten pretty involved in the community at Wayland. Landyn has helped out with the Wayland Golf Tournament, while Olivia has help with donations for the Annual Wayland Gala.

Well sum up our love for each other with a direct quote from Landyns step-father, Aaron Mueller:

When two souls meet the way yours have, the pictures dont even do it justice. The connection you have is so raw and so real. I love just sitting back and watching you two enjoy each others company. Thats what has always made me so happy. True love has found its match.

In truth, this event is a celebration of our love and commitment. We are so excited to celebrate with all of you!

XOXO,

Liv & Landyn
