Hello friends and loved ones!

On Friday, October 13th, we're getting married! Our relationship blossomed 10 years ago under a full moon on a Friday the 13th just before Halloween/Samhain time. Friday the 13th dates don't come around often at that specific time of year, so when we found out that it will happen in 2023, we immediately jumped on that. The next one is in 2028!

As many of you know, we met at our beloved Hypnodrome theatre, a place that was once called "a pornographic pestilence covenant of the thespian and the damned" amongst other things. It was the last bastion of Grand Guignol theatre in San Francisco and we fell in love under its stage lights, covered in blood, knives out and smiles wide.

In honor of our gorey origins, we decided to celebrate our love in the best way we know how - with guts and ghouls and glitter.

Our drag theatre company Palace of Trash, which was birthed after the closure of The Hypnodrome, has agreed to create a beautiful wedding ceremony with performances that nod to our Grand Guignol past.

We would like to ask our community to help us bring this spine-chilling wedding to life! Both of us are really hard workers but we do not have a secure financial system to fund this wedding, and even though we're not making huge purchases for it like renting a venue, the bills add up. Plus, you know, we live in San Francisco.

Here's what the money for this fundraiser will be going towards:

We are grateful to be able to rely on our community, our drag family, our friends and supporters. Any little bit helps.

We hope to bring magic, romance and big big love to you through this unique ceremony in which you are all invited to participate.

Love and murder,

Hugs and kisses,

Bru and John.
