Starling first saw Wee Heavy at a Rush concert at the Moda Center in 2015. In a sea of Rush fans in jeans and black t-shirts, Wee Heavy stood out with their hot pink New Rock boots with matching pink purse and pink hair. Starling noticed them right away but could not work up the courage to say anything. But Wee Heavy stayed in the back of their mind for years. It was love at first sight. A couple years later, Starling found someone who looked very much like the person they saw at the Rush concert on OKCupid, but wasn’t sure it was the same person. They sent a message anyway. That led to the most magical first date ever in October of 2017. Wee Heavy got to the Raven and Rose restaurant first and was sitting at the bar waiting for Starling. When Starling arrived, Wee Heavy turned off their bar stool and was immediately enamored with Starling. This first date went on to be very special and they were feeling very connected from the start. Starling proposed to Wee Heavy on the anniversary of their first date in October 2018, and Wee Heavy of course said yes! The pandemic and life events slowed us down, but we are finally getting married on October 12, 2024! Throughout this time, we moved in together into our bright purple house with a big genderqueer flag waving out front. We have 2 cats: Blaeber and Spalding, 2 chickens: Buddy and McNugget, and 2 amazing dogs: Olive and Ziggy. Together we are the cutest and queerest family. We are excited to share our queer love with all of you, our friends and family!
