Guess what?! We got hitched.

How do you elope during a worldwide pandemic?

Very carefully.

We got our marriage license from a part-time wizard at a 24 hour chapel in a Long Beach office complex — and our vaccines in Northridge (yes, in the same day!). A week later, we were in the California's High Desert, saying our vaccinated vows with an audience of four in a dome that may or may not have been designed by aliens.

It was everything we always wanted.

Even though we couldn’t all gather in person, we felt your presence through the kind words, art, and good vibes blasted out into the multiverse.

We loved the idea of the ephemerality of it all, that somewhere in the world love was happening, and if everyone listened carefully enough, you could hear it in your hearts.

But this is only the beginning.

Over the next weeks and months, we will be bringing the celebration to you; our fully-vaccinated selves will be making pop-up visits to Arizona, Northern California, and Canada to cheers with our geographically-distant families.

And to make that happen, we need your help.

Instead of adding to our menagerie of furniture or arsenal of cookware, we need your support for what we do best: adventuring.

Your support will help us — when it is safe to do so — to see our far-flung families, celebrate with friends, and launch our greatest adventure yet: setting down roots.

Thank you all for your love and support, and we can't wait for hugs and laughter again soon.

Love, Sophia & Drew
