Tess and Marie are married! YAY! These two first met online back in 2022 and hit it off pretty much right away. Their first date consisted of getting coffee and walking around and that turned into them both walking for so long that their feet hurt. They decided to call it a night and both head home but they continued to text each other pretty much non-stop that night. Needless to say, they didn't stop texting and talking! Fast forward to 2024. Tess and Marie mutually decided to get married after the election. As a queer couple, they knew their right to marry was in danger and they wanted to make sure they were able to get married, no matter what happens, so they started planning their wedding.

They got married on Tuesday and it was perfect! May 27th is the anniversary of their first date so they knew they needed to tie the knot on this day. They held their wedding in their backyard. They will both be moving soon and this home was the first home they shared as a couple so they knew it would be extra special to get married here. They really made their wedding their own, their wedding vision was loosely based off of Carly Rae Jepson's album Emotion which was pivotal to Marie and her journey and features blue, white, and pink colors (which are also the trans flag colors), a friend of Tess' was the officiant, they incorporated elements of a traditional Jewish weding to honor Tess' Jewish heritage, they enjoyed some of their favorite summery foods, and really focused on celebrating with the family and friends that they love.
