There's something in the way she holds tightly holds him. Her body melds into his and they appear to be one. And Eli loves Cori without knowing how, or when, or from where. His love is simple and free, ebbing and flowing like the ocean. They're two people whose love knows no bounds because it sprouted from seemingly thin air.
They were set up on a blind date. A mutual friend in Cori's acting class insisted she should meet Eli, a guy who has everything together and the stars aligned in his favor. The type of guy who aims high and prefers to surf the world alone. Until that one fated night. Amidst a group of friends, Cori and Eli spent the entire evening together, and Eli's stars began to shift…in Cori's favor. Since then, they've been surfing the world together.
And no other town in the world could hold their love so perfectly than Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Years ago, they fell madly in love along the dusty streets, sipping on Imperial, and catching the waves–like clockwork–at three in the afternoon. Their love has become one love and it is simple and free, ebbing and flowing like the ocean…and perfectly aligned by the stars.
Cori and Eli…I have no words to thank you for such a delightful experience. Your wedding was beautiful, intimate, heartfelt, and filled with love, and I'm so blessed to have been a part of your journey. I appreciate your kind care and concern, and treating me and JD like family…you both deserve nothing but the best life has to offer and I'll be happily cheering you on from the sidelines! Much Love and Appreciation…J*
