Wedding Day

Our Wedding

It all started one fateful day at a local Oktoberfest in the town of Acton, MA. Olivia had just moved to Massachusetts to work with a lovely family, and was on the hunt for community. Mary was running face-painting for the church she had started working for a few months earlier. After getting pulled out of the crowd, Olivia met Mary, numbers were exchanged, and Mary took it upon herself to to help Olivia dive into their church community. Mary often said to people at the time, she felt this sense that God had put Olivia in her life for a reason. Sure this reason was to be the best of friends, that's what they became....for many years. After a while Olivia got the sense that maybe they were meant for more than just friendship and made it her personal mission to help Mary realize the same :). While that realization wasn't without it's challenges, they couldn't be more thankful for the ways God opened doors for them and family and friends showed up for them. Nothing feels more right than taking this next step together. Olivia and Mary's biggest hope is that through marrying one another they can not only care for each other, but can better love others as a team (with their sweet puppy Winry of course). They can't wait to celebrate this journey with all of you!
