olivia would say that it was very rare for her to be found at o'shea's but she would be lying. it was one place that she found peace when she was trying to plan for her clients; which was weird but she wasn't one to complain. there was something about watching the patrons interact with each other, the drinks that people would order, and the fights that were inevitably bound to happen. with her glass of red wine in hand, she leaned forward on her elbows as she flipped through the pages of her many wedding magazines. the voice in front startled her as she glanced back at the jukebox to see the person pull back their hand. olivia laughed taking a sip of her drink before glancing up at anne-louise with a smile. "you've got good taste so i don't blame you for yelling at them to not change it," she stated before finishing off the glass of wine. "how's the shift going? anything juicy happen that you can gossip about?"

the school term had officially started, so anne-louise was back to working part-time at o’shea’s. which also meant she was already frickin’ exhausted, so soon into the school year. each year, it seemed she lost energy instead of maintaining or gaining it. she would have loved to spend the evening on the couch with her dog and roommate, but she needed the money—she could’ve asked her moms to lend her some, but anne-louise was trying to be more independent from them, not more dependent on them. they’d do it, though, if she asked. that was why she never asked. besides, thursday nights were usually pretty slow, so she’d didn’t have to work too hard. it meant less tips, too, but she’d accept that trade off if she didn’t have to move around too much. sitting on a stool behind the bar—she convinced her previous boss david that customers were respect him more if he let his staff sit down in view of them, and she didn’t care what her current boss had to say about it—she was playing hexa sort on her phone when she noticed movement over by the jukebox. “hey!” she called out, pointing an accusing finger at them. “you better not think about changing the music in here!” quickly, though, she faltered and dropped her hand to wave off her outburst. “...or, just wait until this one’s over, please. i like it.” want you in my room by carly rae jepsen was halfway over, anyway.

One of her clients requested a whole wall of art for their wedding reception so Olivia found herself walking through the Chambers Museum. She had never been one to particularly understand the depths of what art means but she always heard that art was subjective and that was what she found herself to be enjoying. Stopping at one of the art pieces, she knew immediately that she had to find something similar for her client. Glancing over at the woman next to her, she shook her head. "I haven't gotten the chance to look at painting's enough to have a favorite, unfortunately." She looked at the painting in front of her. "Is there a particular reason why this one is your favorite?"

At this point, Izulu has no idea how long she's been standing here. The painting in front of her is so huge, and so vibrant, and so entrancing that she's been lost in it for ages. Every slight movement of her eye finds something new to see and admire, and she's stuck here, imagining full scenarios and stories happening inside the world of the painting. It's only when she thinks to herself how excited she is to show this to her students on their field trip next month, that she remembers she's a person, and is brought back to reality. When she comes back to herself, there's a person standing next to her, looking at the same painting. "This one's my favourite," she smiles. Understatement of the century. "Do you have a favourite painting?"

if there was one place that olivia loved to go during her in between meetings was thrift haven. she had a knack of having a wardrobe full of the things that she found at the thrift store; she was never one to want fancy things and the wonders that you could find in the thrift store was endless. running her hands along the clothing, she stopped and grabbed a few pieces to add to her collection. when she heard a voice, she stopped and couldn't help the laugh that escaped her throat. "it definitely put a smile on my face that's for sure," she responded, grabbing the black silk dress that she had found. "pair it with this and you've got a new runway look right here in blue harbor."

time off was sacred, but it was rare. whenever elspeth was treated with a spare wedge of time to themselves, it was often swallowed up in the necessities—grocery shopping, doctor’s appointments, catching up on her ever growing to-be-read list that seemed to elongate exponentially quicker than it lessened. that morning she was at the thrift store, feeling through the thick fabrics, trying to find something new to add to her slim wardrobe; when their everyday outfit was head-to-toe medical scrubs and little plastic booties over their shoes, it didn’t make much sense to have all that much variety. “what do you think?” she beamed, grabbing a tiger mask from the top hanger, balancing it on the crown of her head, “i don't know, i’m thinking it might do wonders in lightening the mood!”

BIOGRAPHY

Olivia Hart was born in Blue Harbor, Illinois, into a family with deep roots in the region's cultural and social scene. Her parents, Julia and Robert Hart, ran a successful catering business, and their home was frequently abuzz with the preparations for events ranging from intimate family gatherings to elaborate parties. Growing up amidst the hustle and bustle of these events, Olivia developed a fascination with the art of celebration.

As a child, Olivia was often found helping her mother with flower arrangements or assisting her father with the logistics of event setups. These early experiences planted the seeds for her future career. Olivia excelled academically, showing a particular interest in art and design. Her high school years were marked by her involvement in organizing school events and fundraisers, where her organizational prowess and eye for detail began to shine.

She attended the University of Illinois, where she pursued a degree in Hospitality Management. During her time at university, Olivia interned with various event planning firms and hotel management companies, gaining valuable hands-on experience in the field. She graduated with honors, armed with a robust understanding of the industry and a deep passion for creating memorable experiences.

After graduating, Olivia secured a position with "Elegance Events," a high-end event planning firm renowned for its luxurious weddings and social gatherings. Her role involved coordinating every aspect of events, from vendor management to on-site execution. Olivia quickly distinguished herself with her meticulous attention to detail, creativity, and ability to remain calm under pressure. Her talents did not go unnoticed, and she was promoted to a senior planner position within a few years.

Despite her success, Olivia harbored dreams of running her own business. At 28, she took the bold step of starting her own wedding planning company, "Everlasting Moments." The decision was driven by her desire to bring a personal touch to wedding planning and to offer clients a unique and bespoke service that reflected their individual personalities and preferences.

"Everlasting Moments" began as a small operation with Olivia handling most of the planning and coordination herself. Her dedication and personalized approach quickly earned her a reputation for excellence. Her business grew through word-of-mouth referrals and glowing reviews from satisfied clients. Olivia’s ability to connect with couples on a personal level and understand their vision for their special day became her trademark.

The early years of running her own business were challenging. Olivia worked long hours, often juggling multiple weddings in a single weekend. Despite the demanding schedule, she found immense satisfaction in seeing her clients’ dreams come to life. Her portfolio expanded to include a diverse range of weddings, from intimate beachfront ceremonies to grand ballroom affairs. 

To support the growing demand, Olivia has began to  gradually build a team of talented professionals, including event coordinators, designers, and administrative staff. She is focused on building her brand and living vicariously through the couples that she helps.
