We value experiences with the people we love above all else. When we began talking about planning a wedding, our first obstacle was that there were simply too many people we love and value to edit down a guest list to what would be feasible for a traditional wedding. More than that, a few short hours wouldn't have afforded enough quality time to make this as memorable of an event as we hope it be.

In realizing that, we turned to one of Brandon's long held favorite past times -a cruise- which forces people to simply put away their cell phones, put away any worries of the outside world, and live in the moment. This is precisely the way we felt it appropriate to celebrate such an exciting time while also extending the celebration from a few short hours to a few days, with the people that we love.

We know this is not a traditional way to celebrate, but we aren't really traditional people - and we hope to see you at the bar to cheers this moment in person.

If you're going to join us, see the Q&A section for the cruise details.
