It's happening, you guys ... we're getting married!
And we can't wait to celebrate being each other's favorite person in front of the rest of our favorite people.
So please join us on June 4, 2017, as we celebrate our wedding on Fire Island, New York. You can join us for just the day or stay for the whole weekend.
We are also planning a festa in Sardinia, Italy, on Sept 2, 2017. Join us in Fire Island or Sardinia — or both!
How We Met
We met on July, 8 2012, on a ferry to Sandy Hook beach, making eye contact for the first time somewhere between Wall Street Pier and the Statue of Liberty. It was the perfect first date -- sunny, unplanned and serendipitous.
Our Engagement
We were engaged on May 2, 2016, on a horse ride in Los Angeles, starting at Sunset Ranch and ending in Derek surprise proposing to Simone in a spot high up in Griffith Park, near the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory.
Our Relationship
5 years. Apartments in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Regular trips to Sardinia, California, Miami, and Fire Island -- our faves. Countless bowls of pasta. Federal marriage equality for 2 years. And one precious schnauzer. It's time.
