Our Wedding

As many of you know, Owen is originally from New York and went to a military college in Vermont in hopes of becoming an officer in the Military. As Owen went through college and had multiple internships, one including with Homeland Security, Owen decided differently. Owen soon realized if he wanted to do Federal Law Enforcement he needed to be a police officer. Owen then started applying to police departments all over the south. Chesterfield County was the first to respond. Owen decided to accept the offer and move to Virginia after college for a job as a Chesterfield County Police Officer. Emily, grew up about 45 minutes from Chesterfield County in Mechanicsville, Virginia. She moved to Norfolk, Virginia for Nursing school. After graduating a program that only accepted 80 nursing students nation-wide Emily was job searching. She was ready to move back to a familiar area, along with her dream to be in a Level 1 Trauma Center in the Emergency Department. Emily accepted a job at Chippenham Hospital in the Emergency Department in Richmond, Virginia. One evening in March 2022, around midnight, Owen brought one of his many psychiatric patients into Chippenham. Emily just happened to be staying late that evening and was working in the psychiatric unit. It was any typical night at work for the both of them, they didnt even exchange names. Fast-forward to July 2022, Owen walks into the psychiatric unit with yet another violent patient. Emily, again, happened to be working that unit. Emily was asked to stay an extra 4 hours that evening and get off at 3 am. Little did she know, Owen was supposed to be relieved by another officer at midnight, but told his Sargent he would be fine getting relieved at 3 am after he heard Emily was working longer. Owen and his partner kept trying to figure out Nurse Emilys last name. Emily and her coworker were killing time by online shopping not even paying attention. Finally, Owens patient begins to get worked up and violent again. Emily works with Owen and his partner to medicate the patient without issue. After, Emily sees Owens badge that says ‘O’Reilly’ and out of curiosity, Emily asks, “How do you pronounce your last name?” Sassily, Owen responded. Emily the rest of the evening thought Owen was so rude. A few evenings later, Emily receives a follow request on Instagram from that same officer that was so sassy to her at work. Little did she know, Owen had spent a few nights trying to find the Chippenham Nurse, ‘Emily Davis’ on social media. Emily accepted the follow request and even messaged Owen first, commenting about how his last name was so hard to forget (making a joke about how sassy he was when she asked the pronunciation at work). After a few weeks of texting, facetimes, calls, etc. Emily finally decides to give Owen a chance to hang out with her in person. 30 minutes was all the time she gave him to make an impression. He clearly did. By the end of August, Emily and Owen were officially dating. By November, they decided rent was extremely expensive. Emily and Owen bought a house. On May 16th, 2023, Owen asked Emily to marry him on the back deck of their home after they had spent the entire day together building their new deck furniture. She of course said yes.
