Their Martha's Vineyard wedding wasn't big, but it sure felt easy.
Olivia Rochman had just flown from Boston to New Orleans for a long weekend. She planned to attend the anniversary party for a good friend's jewelry brand, Olivia had largely called New Orleans home since graduating from Tulane University in 2013 (with a three-year stint in Austin in between.) But after Hurricane Ida wrecked her Nola rental, she'd moved back home to her parents' in Newton temporarily in 2022. Her fintech job was remote, plus, it was nice to spend time with family: '[My father] was like, 'When we said go south , we meant Connecticut.''

But even with years of overlapping social scenes and circles, he and Olivia had never officially met.

Dominique Holliday | Castillo Holliday Photo + Film The party was in a two-story showroom near Jackson Square; there were oysters, a champagne luge, and a fashionable guest list, including hoteliers Jayson Seidman and Paris Neill, Olivia's close friends, now also her would-be matchmakers. While chatting with Coby, Jayson called Olivia over to introduce the two. She was intrigued by Coby's dry humor and quick wit. 'He was giving professor ‚" Olivia remembers. Advertisement Feeling exuberant to be back in town, Olivia interrupted the conversation to go upstairs for an ear piercing. (The store offers piercing services.) 'I was like a bat out of hell,' she says. 'He is an excellent listener, and I am an excellent talker.' Olivia, pictured with her parents, Dr. Guy and Deborah Rochman, wore a gown by Mariana Hardwick, and a necklace with the name of her beloved late dog, Raisin. Dominique Holliday | Castillo Holliday Photo + Film Coby, charmed, waited for her to return: 'I don't remember exactly what the conversation was about, but I just remember laughing a lot.' As 'the stragglers at the end of the party,' Coby suggested a date before she left town: 'Why don't I give you my phone number and we can meet up.' Olivia's response: 'Absolutely not.' 'You're going to ask for my number if you want to see me again,' she remembers saying. 'He rapidly course corrected.' Their first date was the next night at 'He's very sincere,' she says. 'He was being thoughtful and transparent ... we both knew we wanted to get married. We both knew we wanted to have kids.' Many wedding guests arrived earlier that week and stayed on the property for the wedding. 'It felt like summer camp with all [our] favorite people,' says Coby. Dominique Holliday | Castillo Holliday Photo + Film Olivia emphasized the importance of family — Coby learned what that meant when he visited her in Boston two weeks later. They went to Newbury Street and Harvard Square, Foals at Roadrunner, and Sunday dinner with Olivia's family, whom she fondly describes as 'a lot.' 'We're a Boston family,' she explains. Coby was woefully unprepared for the single-digit temperatures, but the dinner didn't spook him. He remembers thinking, 'Why not meet them now? If it works out, I've known them since the beginning.' 'My dad's a great storyteller,' says Olivia. 'Coby just loved listening to the stories.' After dinner, her father told her: 'That's the first man you've brought home in 32 years who has the potential of being a keeper.'

Dominique Holliday | Castillo Holliday Photo + Film Olivia and Coby traded visits and texts, and it wasn't long before her return to New Orleans felt inevitable. 'I was really living for those next times we were going to see each other,' says Coby. In February 2023, she, Coby, and her cat (Gator) and dog (Raisin), packed into her car for the 30-hour drive south. She moved back into Paris and Jayson's now-restored carriage house, which, it transpired, was only blocks from Coby's, where the couple now reside. It soon became what Olivia calls a 'really nice life together.' 'Love doesn't always arrive with fireworks,' she says. 'Sometimes it's a steady hand, or a calm knowing, or just your body being finally at peace ... what I found was the more time we spent together, that I was sleeping really well. I felt safe in my body... I had thought, 'If it's safe that means it's boring,' and I never want boring. But I learned that safety is not necessarily complacency. You should feel safe.' For their ceremony, Krishana Collins of Tea Lane Farm had asked the couple for three words to describe the floral atmosphere they wanted to create. They chose "Timeless, Artful, and Wild," hoping to emulate the organic, overgrown nature found up-island on Martha's Vineyard. Dominique Holliday | Castillo Holliday Photo + Film Coby had begun to embrace 'type 2 fun,' and two-step at the White Horse in Austin. 'It felt like she'd opened a door to something I didn't even know existed,' he says. 'And I was just happy to be there, along for the ride.' Advertisement He proposed in June 2024 at Porter Lyons, where they first met, with a re-creation of her mother's heirloom ring that she had long-admired. That month, the couple took a day trip to Martha's Vineyard during a Cape vacation with Olivia's family. They had made a list of potential wedding locations, but Olivia's childhood Augusts were spent up-island, and when nostalgia hit, she knew there was no better place. Olivia, 34, and Coby, 37, wed on Friday, June 6, in an outdoor ceremony at the Related : 'We wanted the weekend to feel like a vacation that people got to take,' she explains, 'and there just happened to be a party and some casual dinners thrown in.' They had 53 guests and no wedding party; Olivia's logic being 'if you're here, you're as close to us as a bridesmaid or groomsman would be.' As the one who introduced them, Jayson officiated. Their first dance was to New Orleans roots artist Anders Osborne's "Life Don't Last that Long"; the band East Coast Soul performed during the reception. Olivia's sister Dana had attended Berklee with one of the band members and performed with the group later that night. Dominique Holliday | Castillo Holliday Photo + Film They chose the hotel for its proximity to the ferry and its unfussy aesthetic. There was not a 'manicured blue hydrangea' in sight. Instead, Krishana Collins of ranunculus and wisps of greenery. Olivia and her parents walked toward her groom, through the grass, to a string arrangement of Tom Petty's 'Wildflowers.' And while the wedding was unforgettable, for Coby, marriage already felt familiar. 'When you find someone that you want to be with and you make that decision way before you walk up the aisle,' he says. 'It formalizes it, puts the stamp on it. But I felt like we were married and going to be together from that time I went to Boston and had no jacket.' Advertisement Read more from , The Boston Globe's new weddings column.

Victory young gun seals German Bundesliga switch
Melbourne Victory young gun Kasey Bos has sealed a transfer to German Bundesliga club Mainz 05, capping off his rapid rise. Bos, who received his first Socceroos call-up for games against Japan and Saudi Arabia, departs the Victory, who receive an undisclosed transfer fee, to sign with Mainz 05 on a four-year deal through to 2029. The 21-year-old left-back, younger brother of Socceroos and Westerlo defender Jordy, made just four appearances off the bench for the Victory in 2023-24 but exploded in the most recent A-League Men season. Bos scored four goals and notched two assists as he made 26 appearances, starting 24, including the Victory's grand final defeat to Melbourne City. "I've loved every minute I've played at Melbourne Victory," Bos said. "The club has helped shape my development and build the foundations necessary to take this next step overseas." Bos's season earned him an Olyroos call-up before his first senior camp under former Victory boss Tony Popovic. He will now attempt to kick on at Mainz, who finished sixth in the Bundesliga last season. "For a player to progress from our academy to the A-League team, and now to a top-six Bundesliga club, is a testament to the belief and hard work of many, not least Kasey and his family," Victory football director John Didulica said. "We are incredibly proud to have been part of his journey so far, and have no doubt he will continue to achieve great things with 1. FSV Mainz 05." Earlier on Friday, City confirmed talented young striker Max Caputo had signed a three-year contract extension until the end of the 2027-28 campaign. Defender Callum Talbot meantime departed the champions after three seasons, while Perth have signed former City forward Arion Sulemani on a two-year deal.

Local reporter Ariana Bos caught in hailstorm
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — While KREX reporter Ariana Bos was reporting on a different event on Friday evening, she got caught up in the hailstorm that swept through Grand Junction. Fortunately, Bos was saved from the rain and hail by another KREX reporter, Titus Cleveland, and her husband, Maartin Bos. Ariana Bos was uninjured. The aftermath of the hailstorm left dents in cars, leaves and trees on the ground, and flooding in some areas of Mesa County. Emergency services responded to calls throughout the storm.
