We're so excited to celebrate with you!

We met Fourth of July weekend in a steamy club in San Francisco. After exchanging a few promising messages via OK Cupid, we agreed to casually say hi on the dance floor, so as not to put too much pressure on the situation. Rocky very gamely waited until three quarters of the way through the party to introduce herself as Pulp "Common People" played on the recently acquired rare 12 inch we had discussed over text. We exchanged two or three words, danced to Neutral Milk Hotel and then had sex in the closet. When we emerged 2 hours later, everyone cheered.

We've been trying to pull this off for a number of years, but the money never added up. Last December, it finally did and we scheduled a one week tour of the western Caribbean. Somehow, the element of surprise was preserved. After missing her chance to get proposed to with a comically-timed double rainbow over a Mayan pyramid at sunrise, we instead got drunk on the beach and nearly missed the boat. We narrowly got through the boarding gate, ran the length of the dock and hopped on the back of a golf cart as the crew awaited lining the rails of the ship and the final doors closed. Once again, everyone cheered.
