We were at our friend Gina’s house, and I walked in after him — fresh from a stretch of time in Costa Rica sitting in ceremony with Grandmother — and I’m pretty sure I impressed him with a medicine song or two. But of course, I wasn’t single yet… and wouldn’t be for a couple more years. The second time we crossed paths I may or may not have been doing a sexy dance on a stage somewhere (we’ll leave the details to your imagination). About a week after that, I ended up staying at ‘some guy’s house’ with my friend Erena, who happened to be renting a room from him while I was between rentals, only to discover that the guy was, in fact, Taylor. The next morning we talked while I lounged on his bed, and as he packed for a few days at Lucidity festival, he casually offered me his room to stay in. In those following days alone in his space, I experienced something strange yet familiar. I felt more at home at his place than made sense with a quasi-stranger. Just being in his energetic field was apparently enough to magnetize me. After he returned, he took his sweet time asking me out (which absolutely infuriated me). But when he finally did, he took me on the most epic first date to “Broken Bridge” on the South Fork Trinity River, where we spent the day sunbathing and being naked, an activity we found we definitively enjoyed in common. Neither of us was looking for anything serious at the time. That allowed things to unfold organically and without pressure, giving our connection room to breathe. Everything between us felt easy in a way that was instantly refreshing. The turning point came about a month in, when we hit a make-it-or-break-it moment. Our first major trial could have put an end to everything. Instead, Taylor surprised me with the more unconditional love, compassion, and trust than I’d ever experienced with a partner before. In that moment, I knew I’d found the man I could weather any storm with. Within the year, we were pregnant with Elysía. His calm and fearless response to the surprise news was another deep confirmation that he was the one. Since then, we’ve lived a lifetime in relatively short time: seven years together, three children, an international move, and many unforeseen initiations. Through it all, our commitment has remained steadfast, offering me a sense of “home” I had never known before. What an honor to build that together and gift it to our children. In many ways, a wedding almost feels unnecessary. We’ve been husband and wife since the beginning, which is maybe why we never bothered to prioritize it as our lives unfolded together. No one needed to propose, no one did in fact. It’s just been a given. But this wedding is something we both have wanted: As a celebration of the family we’ve created, together with our community. As a chance to bring our loved ones together, enrich the web of tribe around us, and share the magic that this land in Mexico has offered our lives. This ceremony is more than renewing our (mostly unspoken) vows in the eyes of our family and friends, but more so to co-create meaningful memories together with you all that we will all get to carry forward into the future, and to feel the connection and belonging that we all offer to one another in sacred community. We cannot wait to stand in that circle with you. To celebrate love, ours and all of ours, in the most meaningful way we know how.
