We met backstage at a fashion week showcase in Milan, both there for work and neither of us particularly enjoying the chaos of it — until we ended up hiding from it together in the same stairwell. Marcus was sketching; Zuri asked to see, uninvited, and never really left. Long-distance for the first year, we made a habit of meeting in whichever city had the better exhibition that month. Marcus proposed in that same stairwell, years later, at the same showcase, in front of a door marked 'staff only' that neither of us has been able to walk past since without laughing. We'd love for you to join us as we make it official, surrounded by the people — and the city — that brought us together. Thank you for being here.
