Jessica & Lincoln
THE CEREMONY
After a brief time of welcoming a the Union Hall, we will walk to a special place in City Park (approx. 8 mins on foot). If you would like accommodation, please email us at jkgovea@gmail.com and we will secure a ride(s). Once gathered, we will speak our commitments to each other before you all, our beloved family and friends. Jessica and Lincoln will hang back for photos, while y'all head back to the Union Hall for dinner and fun!
Question
Where did you meet?
Answer
We met volunteering with Community Kitchen, a local DIY collective that prepares and distributes hot meals to unhoused neighbors. When the COVID-19 lockdown happened, the two of us were part of the core server squad. Jessica left their phone in Lincoln's car one day, and Lincoln offered to call it (we couldn't find it); that's how he got their number! No bullshit!
Question
What drew y'all to each other?
Answer
We gelled immediately around values we both share: love for all creatures great and small, militant anticapitalism, antiauthority, and violence.
For all the days along the way
