Our Wedding

Etoi and Kurt's journey together was marked by a serendipitous blend of coincidence and fate, embodying the very essence of "sonder" from the beginning. Their intertwined lives started in the early 2000s when they resided in the same apartment complex, only to discover years later how close they had been to meeting. They crossed paths again in 2011 when their children attended the same daycare, exchanging casual hellos and occasionally meeting at the annual Christmas party. Connecting again in 2014, Etoi unknowingly joined the same company Kurt worked for, marking the beginning of a profound, lifelong bond. Now, 24 years later, they celebrate not only their enduring friendship but also the unified life they have built together. As parents of four thriving daughters, they have embraced the joys of merging their lives into one. No longer observing each other from afar, they now share a single perspective, looking through the same window of their intertwined lives.
