At the dawn of celestial existence… we met at a Halloween party when a very talkative Desmond sat down next to Bash, who was patient and introverted enough to keep sitting there and listen to him babble. We have been going with the flow and riding those tropical winds ever since… In truth, our story is so interwoven with the places we’ve been and the lifelong friends we’ve made along the way — Traveling long stretches of new continents, trying just about every job under the sun, and growing closer together, while also expanding the perimeters of who we are — This ceremony will be a celebration of how far we’ve come. You already know that the wedding and the festivities around it will focus on the two of us. But we want to remind everyone that this is also about the many serendipitous, connected moments with our families and friends that are always intersecting and enriching our lives. Love is something precious, but also something durable. It is to be treasured and valued, but also strengthened and respected. We can’t wait to share this moment with all of you.
