Our Wedding

We met each other in our first year at Toccoa Falls College. Some would say we hit it off, but really we couldn't stand each other! After about a year and a half of seeing each other around school and in classes we got closer and closer until one day we went for a walk and told each other that we were interested in dating. Three days later Matthew said he was going to marry Olivia, and she panicked. Less than a year later, in August of 2024, we got engaged, and we look forward to our wedding in January 2026.
