When my cousin Olivia was three, she started preschool and became best friends with a boy named Abraham.\u00a0 Most people called him Abe, even then, because Abraham is a mouthful for a three year old and, to most people, it\u2019s the logical nickname.<\/p>\n

Not, however, according to Olivia, who decided to nickname him Ham.<\/p>\n

No one\u2019s really sure whether she wasn\u2019t totally listening when he was introduced and only caught the last part of his name, or if she decided Abe was too boring a nickname, or maybe she was just hungry, but the nickname has stuck for the last twenty years.\u00a0 Of course, Olivia was and still is the only person to use it.<\/p>\n

When they were seven or eight, he decided to get back at her by calling her Olive.\u00a0 That nickname stuck, too, and they\u2019ve been Olive and Ham since.\u00a0 But only to each other.\u00a0 They get highly offended if anyone else calls them that.<\/p>\n

Last night was their seventh anniversary, and Abe proposed to Olivia, and she said yes.\u00a0 And how did she announce it on Facebook, you may ask?<\/p>\n

People used to tell me \u201cIf you like ham so much, why don\u2019t you just marry it?\u201d\u00a0 So I am.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Shout out to Olive and Ham, who are still engaged and adorable and who are planning on getting married sometime next summer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
