How did you two meet?
Olivia: "I met Trey in law school. I thought he was so easy going and loves life. He's been reminding me to breathe and that everything will work out from day one I think."
Trey: "I thought Olivia was so much fun to be around, and I always had a good time every time we hung out. She's a big planner, so we always had some kind of plan, which is nice because I'm not much for plans."
How and when did Trey propose?
Olivia: "Trey proposed in August of 2020 (he almost did in May of 2020 and COVID shutdowns had different plans for his ring shopping and allowing all our friends and family to get together-- of course I had no clue about this until after the August proposal). I thought my college girlfriends (and their husbands) were meeting us at the lake for the weekend. When we got there, we got ready to go to dinner, but everyone was running late so Trey wanted to take the boat out to pass the time until we met everyone at the restaurant. We drove around for a while then headed back to the house when the sun was going down. When we were walking back to the house, he turned around and proposed on the dock. I said, 'yes,' started crying of course, and then immediately asked if my friends knew (ya know-- the important things, HAHA). He turned to the house and pointed upstairs and everyone came outside! Our friends and families were all there. Trey is not much of a planner, so I was literally so surprised-- especially because somehow he managed to drive all the way to Atlanta and buy a ring without me knowing he was gone."
Olivia-- what's one thing you admire most about Trey?
Olivia: "Oh there is a lot-- but probably the thing I admire the most is that he does not meet a stranger. He can talk to absolutely anyone about anything. He has this incredible gift of connecting with people even when the person could not be more different than him."
What are some things you two love doing together?
Olivia: "We absolutely love to travel. Trey is really good at finding cool places for us to go and booking the hotels/flights-- LOL. I am good at ironing out the details and organizing everything. We like to go to sporting events and concerts and of course hanging out with Moe and Pip, our dogs. We hope to attend a second Final Four in New Orleans! WDE!"
Trey-- what's one thing you admire most about Olivia?
Trey: "I admire Olivia's work ethic and her dedication. She's determined and she always works hard for what she wants. For instance, she worked to pay her way through law school and never had a second thought about it. She may need to analyze things (sometimes longer than I want to analyze), but she's all in once she sets her mind to something. She's 100% at everything she does."
What was each of yall's favorite parts of the day?
Olivia: "My favorite part of the day was probably walking down the aisle and seeing Trey. We had been so busy (and a little stressed about the potential December tornadoes) that everything was so go, go, go all morning. When the doors opened though, it was such a surreal moment that it was finally time."
Trey: "I saw a video on Instagram about non-traditional ideas for a wedding and one of them was a private last dance, so we did it. We had everyone leave to get ready for our 'send-off,' but we stayed behind for one last dance with just us. I thought it was nice to be alone and to take it all in by ourselves without being pulled in every direction."
What's next for you two?
Olivia: "Work-- the legal world never sleeps, HAHA! I went back to work the Monday after the wedding before we left for Paris! Seriously though, Trey started a new job last week, so he is busy getting settled in. I am falling back into my normal routine minus the wedding planning. We're planning a few more trips and getting moved into our new house in the next few weeks."
