James is an architect who never met a floor plan he didn’t want to redraw. When he isn’t sketching, he’s probably attempting a new bread recipe or losing gracefully at chess to Olivia. He proposed on a Tuesday, because he didn’t want to wait for a special occasion to ask.
Olivia is a pediatric nurse with an unstoppable travel itch and a growing collection of house plants. She says yes to almost every spontaneous road trip and has been planning this wedding’s flowers in her head since long before James asked.
We met at a rooftop dinner party thrown by a mutual friend. James spilled a glass of red wine on the tablecloth; Olivia pretended not to notice and asked him to pass the bread instead.
We adopted a very opinionated cat and turned a one-bedroom apartment into a home. It also marked the year James finally learned to fold a fitted sheet.
And now, surrounded by the people we love most, we’re ready to say “I do.” Thank you for being part of this next chapter.
A hole-in-the-wall noodle shop that neither of us could find again if we tried. Four hours later, the restaurant was closing and we were still talking.
On a quiet hike upstate, James got down on one knee at the same overlook where we’d had our first weekend trip together. Olivia said yes before he’d even finished the sentence.
