We met at one of Kris and Ryan's now-infamous Halloween parties in 2012. The Riddler and the half-skull-face Pinup Girl likely went down deep rabbit holes talking about music that first evening - we can't remember all the details - but it took a few more years before that initial spark caught fire. We got to know each other through music, sending mini themed playlists back and forth called 6-ers: six songs with a common thread or narrative; a selection of love letters set to music. By the time we threw our Gaudy and Gold NYE party in 2014, we'd figured out through many adventures on Capitol Hill, that we could see a future together. Now, after nearly a decade together, we're making it official. We're so excited to invite you to share in our joy.

The grey, as so many Seattle days are, was counterbalanced by fairy lights and a young bonfire. A camera, subtly perched against a speaker. Two lovers, chatting over a muddled melody and sporadic traffic just over the yard wall. The moisture in her eyes mirrored his palms when he posited a query that would tie them up in knots forever. The question, "Ciara, will you?" was answered, "Brennan, of course." Had the camera not shifted, sunk, melted, or adjusted itself; then this prose could've been seen. Instead you'll have to take our word for it, this nice little dream.
