Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Olivia and Russell met in Fredericksburg, VA in 2017. Russell first caught Olivia's eye at Virginia Veterinary Centers when he joined the ER Department. Olivia was then working in the Surgery Department. Other departments were required to pick up ER shifts so Olivia conveniently chose the same shifts as Russell. A few weeks later, Olivia invited Russell to breakfast after an overnight shift and told Russ that "everyone" was going. Russell obliged but was surprised to see that the only person there was Olivia that morning. That's when it all started... After a few years of brewery/winery hopping, cabin trips, multiple apartments, new jobs, and more we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives visiting new places and starting a family together. Russell proposed at a cabin in Luray, VA in March of 2023. It was a special and unique moment as there was a power outage and it was freezing!&nbsp;Russ popped the question while&nbsp;surrounded by a fire, candlelight, and listening to Thomas Rhett (one of Olivia's favorite artists). It was the easiest question Olivia had ever answered. We can't wait to celebrate with you all at our wedding ceremony and reception in October 2024!
