Our Wedding

Rewind 2 1/2 years ago… Andrew turned to his friend, inquiring about the girl standing across the room. His friend replied, “No shot.” If you know Andrew, you know that he proceeded to shoot his shot anyway. He doesn't like being told he can't do something. Now, here we are, approaching our third year together, and in just a few months, our wedding. As some say, opposites attract. I take this statement to be very true in our case. Andrew is what many would call a "country boy." He loves huntin' and fishin', and his favorite color is camo. If you know me, you know this was not my type. At least not until Andrew came around. His southern charm wore me down, and after a few dinner dates, my roommates found him on our living room couch more than they would've probably liked. Although we may be the epitome of opposites attracting, the thing we have in common is our faith in Christ. Only God Himself could have planned our unlikely match, and I am thankful He did. Our love for our Savior is what drives our love for one another. We hope our wedding and our marriage are glorifying to God. We can't wait to celebrate our marriage with you all!"

Gracie and I met day one of freshmen year at UNCW and instantly became friends. Soon I had her driving me around everywhere (as I didn’t have a car) so we really became close. She was my roommate and dinner date for the next three years. We came as a pair and I wouldn’t have it any other way. She is currently living in Wilmy and is planning on attending law school.

I met Mack the first day of sixth grade, I was shy and had no friends in my new school. She invited me to her birthday party not long after, and soon we became best friends. We survived high school together and stayed close throughout college. 10+ years later she’s still my best friend. She is currently a labor and delivery nurse and living in Wilkesboro.

Hannah was also part of my freshman swim class and we bonded in sprint group. She was my go-to teammate, and always an encourager. She was also my church buddy and we were able to grow close in our community at church together. She is such a joy to be around and knows how to love people well. Hannah is currently in Greensboro nannying the cutest gal.

Cate and I met freshmen year at UNCW, both sprinters on the swim team. We survived many swim workouts together and shared a hate for distance swimming and love for weight lifting. We also shared a bed for a month studying abroad in France, which brought us closer than we both may have liked. Even so, we still love each other. She currently works for Truist Bank in Charlotte.

Mary Grace was alsoo my freshmen teammate (thank you Jesus for UNCW Swim for bringing my best friends). She was not however, in my sprint group but we grew close as we attended church together. From there she became one of my closest friends, my personal photographer, make up artist, and stylist inspiration (she’s always got a great outfit). Mary Grace is currently pursuing full time photography in Greensboro NC (hit her up)!

Austin lives in Sanford and is a Plant Manager at Gildan.

During and after college we continued to enjoy our many hobbies together and still spend many weekends hanging out on the lake with the boys. Jack coaches football at MCHS and lives in Pinehurst.

My big brother, Erik has known me the the longest of anyone. I came in and disrupted his life as an only child. Soon however, he was happy I was around. He had someone to play with and pick on. He’s always been one I strive to be… (better than) as we have to compete in everything. I will say, he makes it a challenge. He’s currently serving our country in Okinawa Japan as a marine.

Erik Olson 

My baby brother, has always know how to push my buttons, but also make me laugh. He is an extremely talented artist and has the biggest heart. Andrew and him bonded at an all you can eat sushi bar at one of my swim meets. He is currently in England attending Bible college.
