Olivia & JD's Wedding Website

welcome!

We are so excited to be getting married in Santa Margherita, Italy on June 9th, 2026!

From the very beginning, travel has been one of our favorite things to do together. Almost eight years ago, just seven months into our relationship, we traveled to Tuscany for the wedding of Olivia’s cousins, Ari and Kate. That trip is a memory we’ll never forget - it’s where JD told Olivia he would bring her back someday to be his wife, and where we first talked about building a life together.

Inspired by that unforgettable experience, we couldn’t imagine a more meaningful place to celebrate our own marriage. Choosing Italy allows us to keep the celebration intimate with our closest friends and family, while also giving our loved ones the perfect excuse to explore one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Italy isn’t just the backdrop for our wedding - it’s the heart of our love story, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you.
