Our Wedding

HOW WE MET

We first met in AP Human Geography in 9th grade at Eagle Ridge Junior High, but didn't really speak to each other much! It wasn't until junior year of high school when we ended up taking the same photography class that we really started talking to each other. On the first day of class, Lindsey was sitting in a row by herself and Olu came in and chose to sit next to her and that ended up being our assigned seats for the class.

The Proposal

We went on a family vacation with Lindsey's family to Punta Cana in July of 2022. We arrived to Punta Cana on Sunday, July 3rd and were so excited to spend the week in such a beautiful, tropical, and warm location! On Monday, July 4th, we woke up and got ready to go sit at the beach/besides the pool all day! Once dinner time rolled around we all got ready to go to a nice dinner. Whilst getting ready, Olu received a message from Lindsey's brother, Caden, saying something along the lines of "Emily and I are on our way" (unbeknownst to Lindsey, they were going to go hide in a hut to take pictures and videos for us). Olu read this message out loud to Lindsey and she was slightly confused because it wasn't quite time to go to dinner yet; ultimately she ended up not thinking anything of it (she was completely and utterly clueless lol). Once we were ready, Olu said that he wanted to take a walk along the beach to see the sunset before dinner! We started making our way to the beach (Lindsey still completely unaware of what was about to happen). Once there, we started walking along the water; after a couple minutes Lindsey noticed that Olu was no longer walking right next to her. Confused, she turned around a few feet behind her Olu was down on one knee and asked "Will you marry me?". Lindsey was completely shocked and overwhelmed with emotion and, of course, said "YES!" and the rest is history! (The dinner afterwards was delicious and the perfect post-proposal dinner!)
