chris and olivia are getting MARRIED

Chris and Olivia met through a dating app in the winter of 2020. With most places closed due to COVID shutdowns, their first date options were limited. Chris suggested a bonfire in his backyard, and despite Olivia's initial hesitation about meeting a stranger at his home, she took the risk. And oh boy, was it worth it!

The pair quickly bonded over their shared appreciation for obscure and off-beat humor. Olivia admired Chris’ sense of style, adventurous spirit, and outgoing personality. Chris was drawn to Olivia's calm energy, intelligence, and empathy.

Olivia felt an immediate connection that was both unexpected and undeniable. She texted her best friend after their first date, confidently declaring, "I'm going to marry him!" For someone who prides herself on being rational and careful, this was a bold move, but her instincts were spot on.

On their first trip as a couple to San Diego, Chris and Olivia encountered one setback after another—delayed flights, rental car issues, and more. Amidst the chaos, Olivia looked at Chris and jokingly said, “I don’t mind bad luck.” This off-hand comment struck a chord with Chris, who quickly jotted it down in his phone.

What started as a silly remark soon became a mantra for the couple. In fact, they both have it tattooed on them! “I don’t mind bad luck” is a reminder that no matter what misfortunate lies ahead, it’s not so bad when it’s shared with the one you love.

Over the years, Chris and Olivia have built a wonderful life together and navigated the unique journey of blending a family. Becoming a bonus mom to Chris’ kids has been one of the most rewarding experiences in Olivia’s life. Chris and the kids agree she is the perfect addition their family.

Together, they make a rock solid team. They are kind, loving, down-to-earth, dedicated to doing great things, and ready to take on their next adventure — marriage!
