Our Wedding

Adam and Olivia met in 2020 during their first semester at William &amp; Mary Law School.&nbsp;Their study group brought them together for many hours, and they quickly became friends.&nbsp;Although they first only discussed the horrors of Torts and Contract law, they quickly began to share their love of spending time with friends, long walks in colonial Williamsburg, and cold beers by the firepit. After a year of being best friends, Adam thought that the best thing to do was ask Olivia on a date.&nbsp;She did not agree.&nbsp;She thought that being best friends meant you had to stay just friends.&nbsp;But Adam only grew to care about Olivia more.&nbsp;And much to her surprise, Olivia realized she shared those feelings.&nbsp;So while they lived and worked in Washington, DC during the summer of 2022, Olivia and Adam finally went on their first date to drinks on a rooftop. Throughout the summer, Olivia realized dating your best friend was a wonderful idea.

Olivia brought Adam home to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving that year to meet her family.&nbsp;He loved seeing her with her close family and friends, and Adam knew that he wanted to be with Olivia forever as part of their family together.&nbsp; They spent the rest of their 3L year continuing to make law school fun by studying together, going on dates, and most importantly cooking dinner together every Wednesday.&nbsp;As graduation approached, Olivia and Adam brought both of their families together to celebrate all their accomplishments.&nbsp;After graduation, as they had done the past three years, they studied together for the bar exam and cheered each other on when they passed!&nbsp;

Although they dreaded a year of long-distance while Adam clerked in Louisville, they planned to see each other as often as possible.&nbsp;Adam suggested that Olivia spend the fall with him in Louisville; when Olivia agreed, he immediately began plans to propose. Adam wanted it to be a surprise and began to plan a casual brunch date.&nbsp;Unknown to Olivia, there was a scheme.&nbsp;They walked a meticulously timed route to brunch along the Ohio River.&nbsp;Adam stopped in a park, got down on one knee, and proposed to Olivia with the perfect ring.&nbsp;He was so nervous and excited that he forgot his cheesy planned lines.&nbsp;All he could say was how much he loved Olivia and that he wanted to spend every moment of his life with her—forever.&nbsp;Olivia only remembers blurs of excitement until she said "yes" and looked up to see their friends coming out of the bushes and from behind statues with cameras!&nbsp;

The rest of the day was spent cherishing this moment they had looked forward to.&nbsp;Brunch was not even a rouse—the hostess was ready with champagne when they arrived.&nbsp;Olivia wanted to call family and friends right away, but Adam insisted the day should be for them alone, little did she know he had many more surprises in store.&nbsp;On the walk home they stopped at Angel’s Envy Distillery where a tour guide was also prepared for celebrations with extra tastings.&nbsp;That evening the newly engaged couple walked to get pizza to celebrate with two close friends. When they arrived at the restaurant Olivia saw that Adam had gathered her parents, his family, and many friends to celebrate!&nbsp;It was a perfect day. Now Olivia and Adam are in Washington, DC where they revel in living their lives together.&nbsp;They look forward to dancing, laughing, and celebrating with their family and friends on the day they forever say “I do.”&nbsp;With hearts of joy and thankfulness, they cannot wait to celebrate with everyone who made this moment possible!&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bridal Party

The favorite of the family almost every day except hopefully August 30, 2025, Ava is the youngest Ragoowansi. While I may have cried when I heard mom was pregnant, I am very glad she was a girl and I didn’t have to run away from home. Thanks for being my maid!

Ava Ragoowansi

The only person here who didn’t have the pleasure(?) of living with me but somehow made it through my middle and high school years. Margaret has been stuck to my hip since we were 11 (pre-Ava even!) and I am forever glad she has never left. 

Margaret Barbier

Nastics may have forced us together ten years ago but once she realized she didn’t hate me, our friendship grew every minute. Franny has been the best travel partner, roommate, and friend in Atlanta and DC. Thanks for always being on my level and being the best co-HBIC ever!

Franny Warren

Monica was my final roommate pre-Adam who I would not have survived Covid law school without. From the day we became best friends (iykyk) to truly countless hours of watching and listening to content together. I am grateful you are in DC with me because I can't have us further than that!

Monica O'Donnell

The first and only person I ever had to share a room with and the absolute best one I could have had. Mikaela and I met when we were young, hopeful 18yr olds and ten years later have helped each other through every part of adulthood. Thank you for always supporting me!

Mikaela Gray

Really, what would I have done without Emory Gymnastics? Tristan and I also met through our time and travels with the team eventually bonding over our love of red wine. The sweetest and kindest friend and roommate someone could ask for. Thank you for being here all these years!
