REAL WEDDING INSPIRATION | Randy + Daryl

When Randy and Daryl stumbled upon our wedding invitations, it felt like destiny had intervened. Years prior, we had envisioned crafting a revolutionary men's line of wedding invitations that shattered convention, offering designs that were daring, refined, and unapologetically distinctive. We patiently waited for the day we would be able to break free from the tired clichés of traditional wedding stationery tailored for men and same-sex couples… and then R+D found us!

They embraced every intricate detail, sparing no expense in celebrating their love, and together, we embarked on a journey to create something truly extraordinary. Their commitment to excellence and our shared vision resulted in a masterpiece that surpassed all expectations. We couldn't be prouder of the breathtaking creation that emerged from our collaboration—a testament to their love story and our dedication to pushing the boundaries of creativity.

Their journey together began in 2016 when Daryl's father underwent a medical procedure in Dallas. Living in the same city, Randy became a pillar of support for Daryl during this trying time, setting the stage for their serendipitous connection. Despite the geographical distance between them, fate continued to weave their paths together, transforming chance encounters into cherished memories. Fast forward to June 2021, during a getaway to Santa Fe, where a momentous occasion was on the horizon. Despite unexpected setbacks, such as a surprise invasion of sugar ants in their vacation home, their determination remained unyielding. The following day, amidst a playful scavenger hunt for a lighter, Daryl orchestrated a suspenseful proposal, determined to keep Randy in the dark until the perfect moment arrived.

Under a starlit sky, Randy and Daryl found themselves sharing a moment of levity, joking about Goldfish crackers and savoring the magic of the evening. And in that enchanting moment, Daryl's heartfelt proposal sealed their intertwined destinies, marking the beginning of a new chapter filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams.

Happy Pride month to our favorite Gents… LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE!
