Thank you to Kristin Fusano, who plotted with Mary tirelessly to curate a beautiful garden and then lead all the florals for the wedding, including hand-making all the cones for the church pews. "Team Fleur" also included Lulu, Juna, Lisa Jammal, and Kirk, who drove to get all the flowers from the LA flower market AND then did all manner of labor to arrange them properly.

Officiants Jim and Naomi xoxoxo!!! They spent hours with us scheming a ceremony that felt like us, we could not be more grateful for their time and skill.
We couldn't have done it without NCC being so flexible and generous with their time and space and referrals to Cheli! We are especially grateful to Joyce as the main point of contact for the church. We commend their mission to make their space more accessible and broadly used by the community, particularly in the goal of providing more affordable housing.
Thank you Cheli Hernandez for all of your time and energy coordinating and being the liaison between us and NCC.
To Tim, Elliott, Adam, Sue, Kirk, Mary, Connor, and Lulu for the best wedding speeches of all time <3.
So, so many of you have helped out and will help out in many ways before and after this list is published. Thank you for checking in on us, feeding us, and keeping us company in person or on the phone. This list is by no means exhaustive. You know who you are, and I hope you know how grateful we are for you and how much we LOVE you!
Thank you ALL OF YOU for being part of our lives. We love you SO much!!!
The biggest thanks goes out to our parents. There aren't enough words for their generosity in supporting us to curate a celebration and ritual that includes so much of our community. Beyond the wedding, thank you for getting us to this point in our lives. Thank you for raising us to be the people we are; we could not be luckier. Here's to Frank. We wish he could be here physically, and know he's here with us spiritually.
