We met on May 3rd in Los Angeles; on May 8th, Jack broke his hip. The first time we said “I love you” to each other was on May 26th in Ojai under the Flower Moon while Jack was recovering from surgery. Within 4 months of our relationship, during the Harvest Moon, Jack began planning the proposal. After a weekend of surprises in Joshua Tree, Jack asked Eli “will you marry me?” under the Beaver Moon. Just 10 days after the Buck Moon, we are getting married on July 23rd, 2022.
"To be loved means to flare up. To love is: to glow with inexhaustible oil. To be loved is to vanish; to love is to last." – Rilke
