Swipe Right for Gorillas

Three years ago, we matched over a line that said, “I’m looking for someone who will come find gorillas in the jungles of Rwanda with me.” It started as a half-joke, half-test, but apparently we were both exactly the kind of people who would say yes to something like that. And now, a few years later, we actually did it. Together we hiked through the misty forests of Rwanda and stood just feet away from a mighty silverback and his family. It was surreal and and somehow still not even the wildest thing we’ve experienced together. We’ve ATV’d around active volcanoes in Guatemala (while battling the worst stomach bug of our lives) and still managed to laugh through it. We’ve jumped off waterfalls in Costa Rica, swam with wild dolphins and otters in Zanzibar, and walked, literally walked, right up to white rhinos in Kenya. We've also stood at the top of the world together at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. And then there was the morning in Kenya when we floated high above the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon, watching giraffes and elephants wander below at sunrise. That’s where he proposed. It all started with a crazy idea to see gorillas in the wild, and now we’re just two people seeing where the next crazy idea takes us.

Wedding

5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Dressy Casual - a little dressy, a little relaxed - cocktail dresses or stylish sets, button-downs with chinos, or a casual blazer. No need to go full formal, just look like you're headed somewhere special (because you are!).

After Party

9:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Once the boat docks, we will all head over to The Siren for live music, a few rounds of pool, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere to end the night. We got your tickets. :)
