Jamyi had tragically been posting about their wedding before the horror.
He shared a photo last September of himself kissing Olly's cheek, writing: "14 years together and 1 year until "I do".
"I love you irrevocably and so excited that in 365 days we will finally be Mr&Mr."
Olly had also shared a post three weeks before his death, saying: "Best week with my man and nine weeks and counting until we say I do!"
The stylist's heartbroken family paid tribute to Olly, describing him as "beautiful both inside and out".
His mum Julie added: "Words cannot express the devastation and heartbreak I feel over the loss of my beautiful youngest son Oliver, Olly to his friends.
“I can’t believe I am having to write this. No mother should have to do this.
“The relationship I had with Oliver was so special, he was my best friend.
“We spoke every single day. He called me mummy, he used to call me his guardian angel.
“Oliver was so caring, loving, quiet and always put others before himself.
“He was a very talented hairdresser, and it was a passion he took seriously.”
While his dad Leigh Marmon said Olly was a "kind-hearted, gentle soul" who squeezed so much into his short life.
He added: “My darling Oliver, I cannot believe that I am writing this. I would give my life to have saved yours.
