What if she said? No, what if she said i'd, rather, you didn't i'd like to keep those things private. What would the million views do to his 18-year relationship with her? Well, here's her reply time to face the music and then a funny thing happened, and the funny thing was this: he got to the third paragraph of her birthday greeting and he no longer cared if she gave him her permission. The third paragraph of her birthday greeting reminded him that her life was too extraordinary to be kept to herself. She had no business keeping it to herself and the third paragraph in his birthday greeting read as follows: we left fatuhiva in november after having been anchored there for nearly a year, a sad departure for us and all our friends we made on the island friends which Ended up marrying us, the whole island was invited and the marriage was performed in a traditional marquis fashion.

Giorgio and scotty arrived at the town hall, which was covered in flowers and green vegetation carried in a perogue, a traditional canoe by four men. I arrived by horseback. No saddle and barefoot wearing a veil made of tree bark and a princess bride dress that had been worn by three other brides over the last 20 years. I then proceeded to walk over the backs of our closest island.

Friends meant to represent the family of the groom, while they lay on the palmed floor with each slow step. I felt for the roots of the island's ancestors, asking them permission and thanking them. A ceremony leader, the island's cultural chief and trans woman, decorated in cockfeathers shells and topper cloth, burned, sandalwood, splashed, ocean water and whipped a giant palm branch on the floor to the sound of drums and the woman's shrill high-pitched voice, calling out our chosen marquise names, tuarii Hekitai king of the open ocean who surfs the big wave and tay the hini ataupua woman, who searches and offers flowers her voice, is still echoing through the valley. I'm sure we were told that we are the first to marry like this on the island.

We were offered this ceremony by the cultural chief considered the guardian of the island's traditions by suggestion from the mayor who wanted to marry us officially, but couldn't due to missing bureaucratic papers, they told us they haven't, performed this kind of marriage for generations, and many people Came to us afterwards saying they would never forget how that day brought back this particular tradition to this island interesting, we had a huge feast, wild pigs, wild goats, sharks, a mountain of coconuts. The whole village was mobilized, hunting and fishing and cooking on our behalf. Unbelievably, generous, the women even organized a dance for us, 25 of them rehearsing every night for a month to present us that night, it was pretty spectacular. Definitely a spirited ceremony too bad.

You weren't there to film it what a life and, of course she said. Yes, permission granted go ahead, use my likeness. She said, oh and she just happens to be on the same continent as this spirited man just one border away, and thanks to many of you, thanks to the vaccines, the kickstarter backers, the sweatshirt buyers, he can now afford to fix the land cruiser he can afford To drive to her again this time with his family, will she be there by the time he arrives? He wrote her another message and awaits her reply. You.
