Justin and Dawn eloped

On Dec 14th, 2021, we got married in Washington, DC. We signed our paperwork in the morning and took photos with the Me + You sculpture by artist Suchi Reddy.

The Museum

Justin had collaborated with Suchi for 18 months on the technology inside the sculpture, which had just launched at the historic Smithsonian Arts + Industries building. Dawn had the idea that we could embrace the spirit of Me + You (and the larger exhibit called "FUTURES"), which was meant to imagine positive futures between humanity and technology. The sculpture responded to visitors' spoken input of "My future is ______" with a one-of-a-kind lighting animation. We took this opportunity to declare our love and commitment to each other by saying "My future is Dawn" and "My future is Justin". This was our modern version of saying "I do" in a unique and beautiful setting.

The Mall

We ran around the National Mall with Robin and found some nice places to pose, including the Hirschorn Sculpture Garden, The National Gallery of Art, and the lawn at the National Mall.

The Hotel

We stayed at The Line, DC with our friends (and my coworkers) Matt and Robin, who were deeply involved with the Me + You project. Robin spent the day with us, taking photos and helping us through our celebration.

Our Room

Robin helped us get ready for our big day in our room at The Line.

The Road Trip

We drove to DC in our electric car, making stops at DIA Beacon and Storm King art galleries on the way down, and NYC on the way back. We love New York.

So many thanks to Robin, Matt, Suchi, Kerrie, Sierra, and everyone else who helped make this happen.
