On June 27th, they had a small drive-thru reception with local friends and pets. Family and friends who were not able to attend were asked to celebrate remotely and take and send photos to spread their joy.
Among their wedding gifts were a house fund, a few house supplies, a Santa-themed cat bowl, and $1000 USD total donated between DreamCorps and CHIRLA for the causes of racial justice, prison reform, and immigrant rights.
