Five years ago, on a significant Pride Sunday, as the world was navigating a period of cautious re-emergence, James and Lee met. Their initial encounter laid the groundwork for a love story that would defy the ordinary. Their first date, a mere three weeks later, unfolded at Blue restaurant. It was there, over a shared plate of oysters (with Lee meticulously selecting only the most appealing ones), that a unique and undeniable connection formed. They swiftly became central figures in each other's lives, blending their worlds with ease and joy. The subsequent half-decade has been defined by exploration and shared experiences. Their adventures have spanned continents, taking them to the natural wonders of Costa Rica, the romantic settings of Italy and France, and multiple trips out west to explore vast landscapes and new frontiers. These travels not only broadened their horizons but also solidified their bond. After their first year, they embarked on the exciting journey of living together. An essential member of their family is Jude E., their beloved dog. Jude, a character known for his "grumpy old man" charm and perfectly timed side-eye, is cherished by James and Lee. He adds immeasurable joy and laughter to their home. While Jude received his own special invitation, he unfortunately had to decline due to the venue's strict "no paws on the dance floor" policy. We're sure he'll be celebrating in spirit (and probably napping). James and Lee are immensely excited to celebrate their marriage with all their cherished friends and family, inviting everyone to partake in the culmination of their remarkable story. Thank you all for being a part of the next chapter in their Ever After.
