OTD in 2020, Jen and I took a short day trip south towards Tucson, found a random dirt road jetting off into the desert, drove until we were sufficiently distant from a highway, parked and wandered out onto the land. We arrived at this saguaro, where we shared some well-named #trailbeers and had what you might call our own little unrehearsed personal wedding ceremony, just the two of us.
We eventually wandered back to the car, wrote our vows as we made our way home, showered, and got married in our living room in a covid wedding. Jen’s parents and one of our officiants participated via zoom.
Happy Anniversary to my favorite travel partner.
