Our Wedding

Every love story starts somewhere — theirs began with Hinge.Both Olivia and Jordan made a swipe in the right direction, and with a little encouragement and help behind the scenes, the first date was set. On May 9th, they met at GI Jade Tiki Bar in Fort Walton Beach and ended the night a little early at Salty Duck in downtown.One date turned into many, filled with tacos, margaritas, and shared playlists. Their connection deepened over beach getaways, road trips, and all the little things that made life together feel easy. When it came time for residency applications, Jordan ranked programs based on Olivia’s favorite cities — and how close they were to her family. (Yes, he really did that.)Fate — and maybe a little strategic planning — landed him at Ascension Sacred Heart in Pensacola, Olivia’s top choice. They found the perfect home in Milton, Florida, and on their very first night in their new house —May 2nd, just shy of a year after they met — Jordan proposed.And so here we are — all thanks to a dating app, a little luck, and a whole lot of love.

Our Story

Photos

Amber and Olivia met on the very first day of middle school, and have been inseparable ever since - through cheerleading days, teenage adventures, and all things in-between. They've been through everything together - relationships, wild nights, heart breaks, happy tears and countless memories that could fill a book (but probably shouldn't). Through every age and stage Amber has stood by Olivia with unwavering loyalty. She is her confidante, her partner in laughter, and the person who knows every version of her and loves her unconditionally through them all. No matter how much time passes or how far apart they live, when they're together, its like they never missed a beat. Amber is truly a sacred and irreplaceable part of Olivia's life.

Megan and Olivia met on the high school cheerleading team and spent much of their younger years together before going off to college. When they both moved back home, it was as if no time had passed. Now living close and going through life milestones together — including getting married in the same year — Megan remains a constant light in Olivia’s life: quick to laugh, always up for bingo night or a night out, and endlessly open-minded, loving, and real.

Olivia and Jessica met during graduate school, where Jessica quickly became a role model and mentor. Their bond grew into a true sisterhood, strengthened by countless nights spent in class and out on the town in St. Petersburg, with The Saltwater Hippie becoming their Friday night staple. Jessica is a true rockstar — no dance floor is ever empty when she’s around. A ride-or-die in every sense, she brings energy, loyalty, and joy to every moment. Though they now live far apart, Jessica is always just a phone call away, and their bond remains unbreakable.

Maribel and Olivia met during graduate school and instantly clicked. One day, on a whim, Olivia asked Maribel to take a trip to Orlando — and without hesitation, Maribel said yes. From that spontaneous adventure on, their friendship flourished. A kind, godly woman with a steady heart, Maribel has always been someone Olivia could count on to be there, no matter what. Although they now live far apart and are in different stages of their adult lives, they remain in constant contact, supporting each other through both work and all of life’s changes.

Hannah and Olivia met in college through their sorority, where they were first paired up for a homecoming pomping event. Hannah was the best thing to come from the sorority. From countless pregames to unforgettable nights out in Tallahassee, their friendship only grew. Hannah is a fun, fearless, Harley-loving queen — and never fails to bring the energy.

Madeline and Olivia met at birth. Madeline and Olivia began their friendship as cousins — born into a bond that only grew stronger with time. Madeline is smart, driven, and full of personality. With their big, bold personalities, the two shared everything from early childhood adventures to the ups and downs of adolescence. Growing up side by side created a connection that runs deep, and it’s only natural that Madeline would be a part of Olivia’s wedding day.

Ali and Olivia met through Jordan — Ali is Jordan’s younger sister. When Olivia first heard Jordan had a sister, she was thrilled. She had always wanted a sister in law, and Ali turned out to be everything she could’ve hoped for and more. As Jordan and Olivia’s relationship grew, so did Olivia and Ali’s. Empathetic, caring, hardworking, and wildly talented, Ali is a force in all the best ways. Though technically a “married-in” sister, she feels every bit like true family to Olivia.

Jordan met Forrest when he was just three years old, and over the years, Forrest has become more like a brother than a friend. They’ve shared a lifetime of memories together—from days spent on the bend of the river and nightly dinners at Jordan’s great-grandmother Rosie’s house, to living in different states yet keeping their bond strong through phone calls and occasional meet-ups. Today, Forrest is a devoted husband and father, and Jordan is now transitioning into a husband himself. Forrest’s loyalty, kindness, and unwavering friendship have made him a constant source of support and joy in Jordan’s life.

Jordan and Zach met in elementary school. Zach was part of their friend group, playing tennis with Jordan in high school. They also joined cross country—partly for fun and partly to skip classes—often taking turns coming in last. As adults, their hobbies have shifted to golf and video games and when they get the chance they spend their time together on the course or the computer.

Jordan and Trevor met in elementary school and later played on the same tennis team in high school, with Jordan often spending pregame days at Trevor’s house. The two bonded over their shared interests and hobbies, and with Trevor being a bit of a goober, they’ve always shared a similar sense of humor, trading jokes back and forth. Beyond the laughs, they also enjoy history and museums, often geeking out together over tanks and machinery.

Jordan and Clay met in elementary school, and their friendship has stood the test of time. Clay looks like a band mate—and practically is—playing the guitar, and spending countless nights at Wildwood, a bar in downtown Florence, Alabama, making memories that would last a lifetime. Jordan was even there the night Clay met his future wife, Carly, and their bond grew so strong that he became an ordained minister to officiate their wedding. Clay has been a constant presence and an irreplaceable part of Jordan’s life.

Jordan and Adam met in elementary school and have remained close ever since. Adam is an avid gamer, and the two bonded over their shared love of video games. Even during Adam’s military deployments, they stayed connected through gaming. Now a proud father of twins, Adam stays busy with family life but still finds time to share a meme on Instagram or hop on a game with Jordan.

Adrian and Jordan met in medical school, and their bond grew as they progressed through their studies. They spent countless nights studying together and occasionally going out in Auburn. When it came time for clinical placements, they both applied to the same area—Fort Walton Beach, Florida—and were assigned there and became roommates. They quickly fell in love with the area, and in Jordan’s case, Olivia.  Both later applied to residency in Pensacola, a rare coincidence, and were accepted. On their mutual days off, Jordan and Adrian enjoy catching up over football games or a round of golf.

Jordan and Chase met in elementary school and quickly bonded over their shared love of video games—a hobby they’ve carried with them from middle school to the present day.
