Eugenie & Todd

OUR BEGINNINGS

We met in a speakeasy in downtown Los Angeles in February of 2020 There was an instant spark that took a coupe more unexpected meetings to turn quickly into a fame We embarked on a romance that we thought might be chalenged with distance and busy schedules, but the impending global pandemic had other plans for us Instead of letting our burgeoning relationship fizzle out in a lockdown we decided to escape the frantic toilet-paperhoarding masses of the city to stay in a mountain cabin just above the Pam Springs desert What we thought might be a week or so, turned into four months of quarantining together, where we heped to build trails, a campground and our love Our life together bloomed in the California desert and were so happy to be making it official in this pace that means to much to us

HOW IT WENT

2020 : We met at Paramore - Eugenie was working and Todd was imbibing Mateen (our Officiant & dear friend) was wingman-ing

Todd took his shot at their third run-in

First Date: movie at the Grove in Los Angeles

We took our first trip together to visit Mary’s horse ranch in the desert

Shortly afterwards, lockdown began, and we decided to quarantine at Kari & Dean’s cabin in the mountians

Jenn invited us to secret rendezvous in the desert with the Bootleggers

2021 : After returning to LA Todd lived in Beachwood Canyon with Danny & Vania whie Eugenie lived with Anna Robert and Madison

We got our first apartment together with Wakefiied on 6th St in Los Angeles where we ived beow Lana & Wayne and invited Enzo & Tucker into our ives

2022 : Two years after our first date Todd recreated it and popped the question in front of thousands of strangers with Troy, Keley & Ben there to capture the moment

Through chalenges brought in 2022 we grew stronger

After countess memories made in our beautiful first home together, where we hosted friends, birthdays, ceebrations and many more smal moments with those we ove we found a desert home to tinker with and make our own 2023 : We moved into the desert home to streamline our lives as we panned for the wedding 2024 : We welcomed Archie into our home whie we panned and prepared to wak into a new chapter of our lives together and couldnt be happier to be here with you now!

THE ALTAR

You may have noticed marigods strewn throughout the Colony Pams Hote For us these flowers hold a much deeper meaning than simple decor Marigolds hold significance across the world n Mexican culture they adorn 'ofrendas'; aters for offerings guiding departed spirits during special celebrations bridging the gap between this word and the next In Indian ceremonies, the same bossoms represent auspiciousness prosperity and vitality; draping venues as garands to bestow blessings

This weekend we wish ceebrate our many many blessings and we also wish to invite departed spirits so dear to us into this space to ceebrate with us and to honor their contributions to our lives together

On our ater in the Sanctuary Garden there will be pictures dispayed of our oved ones Our family is yours this is a shared experience, fee free to contribute photos or momentos of your oved ones if you fee caled

with love, we honor and cherish
