Damon & Kitten's Love Story

From Clif Bars to Shooting Stars

15 years ago, a White boy named Damon from the forests north of Green Bay, Wisconsin met a Black girl named Kitten (Aisha) from the dusty Los Angeles Suburbs at the Disneyland Half Marathon, while both of them worked for Clif Bar. Little did they know that the lunch break they'd share would change their lives forever. Upon return from that lunch, even their co-workers noticed an undeniable magic between them. Though they felt sparks immediately, they took things slowly and began a friendship, initially connecting on music, arts, movies and civil rights. Over the years, these soulmates have supported each other's dreams, always striving to build each other up. In fact, they've collaborated as a songwriting and music production duo and even performed together, rocking stages as band. Ever the activists, they have marched and protested for human equality, supported animal rights, and even adopted a Vegan lifestyle together. It's very rare that a couple can connect on so many things, be around each other 24/7, 365 and still, 15 years later, never get tired of one another! Years back, Kitten was casted to confess her love for Damon on a short-run Oprah Network TV show called "Real Life The Musical" . The episode was titled, "A Proposal with a Twist". And what a twist it was! Set against the backdrop of the old-Hollywood glamour of the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, millions around the world witnessed them confess their love for each other. They were surrounded by professional dancers, mentors and a few loved ones. It was a dream come true for them both! Yet, years passed and through a myriad of trials and tribulations, they were never able to afford the time, money, or opportunity to get married. But now, they're FINALLY getting married!

Our European Honeymoon Adventure

We're not a traditional couple. We've never done things in a traditional way. After the pandemic, we realized that nothing can ever be perfect. But we knew our love was. We've always wanted to travel to Europe together. But due to the pandemic, a major surgery, financial challenges, and busy work schedules, we could never make it happen. Until now. Recently, Damon was offered the chance of a lifetime to tour as Lighting Director for a band all throughout Europe. So, after 15 years together, we decided to jump at this opportunity to elope and FINALLY get married! But, like always, we'll do this in our own, non-traditional way. Instead of a big, expensive wedding, we've decided to elope and have a European honeymoon adventure instead. We've collected our air miles, so Kitten can join Damon in Europe at the end of the tour. And this is where YOU come in! In lieu of a gift registry (if you want to give us a gift) we're asking for donations to our European Honeymoon Adventure! To make our dream come true, we could use additional money for hotel, food, transportation, etc to make this adventure truly incredible. Any gift amount you'd like to contribute is greatly appreciated and accepted as a blessing to us! Love, Damon & Kitten
