Bobbi Salvör Menuez and Quori Theodor’s love story began with a shared love for dessert at a dinner with mutual friends in 2018. This sparked a connection that led to their first date at Coney Island and eventually, a unique and multi-faceted engagement.
Bobbi, a Taurus, proposed to Quori, a Cancer, during a full moon while they were visiting Gabriola Island in British Columbia, a place where their love blossomed. The ring, a horizontal set baguette cut deep garnet, was designed by their friend Evangeline Adalioryn. A few months later, Quori returned the gesture during Bobbi’s birthday celebration in Connecticut, proposing with a custom ring from Darya Khonsary of Darius Jewels. The celebration was filled with joyous energy, complete with smoke bombs and impromptu singing.
The wedding, planned for August 8, 2024, was an ode to their creative community and a testament to their shared values. They opted for a private property in the Catskills, surrounded by lush woods. The event, dubbed “Try to outdress us,” was a spectacle of fashion and artistry, with custom designs by Miss Claire Sullivan and Zoe Gustavia Anna Walen for the couple and their wedding party. The ceremony was a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, with a satin-draped chuppah on a dock overlooking a pond, a guided meditation led by Colin Self, and a unique choir practice called Xoir. The couple exchanged vows in the presence of their loved ones, a flock of black birds circling above as a symbol of their shared journey.
The reception was a culinary extravaganza, with multiple chefs and food artists contributing their unique talents. Highlights included a whole smoked pig from Lover’s Leap Farm, sourdough milk bread baked by Orchid Lee, and fresh mochi from Mama Luli. Their sober lifestyle was celebrated with intentional non-alcoholic beverages. The dance party culminated in a forest rave, with DJ Lee Lee spinning into the early hours.
Bobbi and Quori’s wedding was more than just a celebration of their love; it was a powerful statement of inclusivity and collaboration. They united their artistic and culinary communities in a joyful celebration, emphasizing the importance of connection and integration. It was a day filled with joy, creativity, and the profound love that bound them together.
