Jonathan and Olivia’s parents met at church in late fall of 1996, just a few months before Jonathan was born. As toddlers, they spent hours together riding in strollers during walks with their moms, and running around during their parents’ Bible study group.
Although Jonathan’s family moved away, they were kept updated on each other’s lives through yearly Christmas cards. Coincidentally, Jonathan went on a hunting trip with Olivia’s father as a teenager and they now hunt together every season.
Jonathan & Olivia briefly reconnected during their late teens, but they truly reunited when Jonathan contributed to Olivia’s GoFundMe for her mission trip to La Ceiba, Honduras in 2019.
From that moment on, they’ve gone through schooling, started their careers, and transitioned into adulthood together.
They’ve both made it a priority to have Jesus be the center of their relationship, and they are thrilled to embark on this next chapter of marriage. They are incredibly grateful for the support they have received in their faith journey and are looking forward to celebrating with everyone on May 2, 2025!
