Tristin and Olivia's love story began in 2014 at Sevier County High School. Though they moved in similar social circles as a junior and sophomore, it took the scheming efforts of Olivia's best friend (and now maid of honor),Tess, to truly bring them together. After roping them into a bowling outing following a school performance, Tess declared that Tristin would be taking Olivia home. As Olivia recalls, "I was so nervous, I don't think I said three words to him the whole time we were there!". Yet once they were alone in the car, the conversation flowed effortlessly. From that pivotal trip home, a beautiful friendship blossomed into something deeper. Despite attending separate colleges to pursue their passions, Tristin and Olivia's relationship only grew stronger over the years. Now living in Chattanooga, it's remarkable to see how that initial spark has flourished into their story now.
May 6, 2023 will forever be etched into Tristin and Olivia's memories. Unknown to each other, they had both secretly planned surprises for this date - Olivia organizing a surprise birthday party for Tristin, while Tristin prepared to propose (a much more exciting surprise than hers, if you ask Olivia). Their friends found themselves delicately navigating the dual surprises - and Tristin and Olivia can't thank them enough for this. The proposal took place at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens, where Tristin proposed under the pretense of taking photos for his sister Kirstin. As Olivia stood obliviously posing, Tristin got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. The most beautiful and surprising moment Olivia could have imagined which then led to celebrations with loved ones. May 6th became an extraordinary day weaving both surprises into an unforgettable engagement memory!
