Vivienne first encountered Ezra at the opening of his private gallery in Dubai — a collection of sculptures cast in obsidian and 24-karat gold. She had been commissioned to write the catalogue essay and arrived expecting to be indifferent. She was not indifferent.

He approached her as she stood before his centrepiece work, a suspended orb of black glass threaded with gold leaf, and asked what she saw. She told him it looked like a planet that had decided to become jewellery. He said that was the most accurate description anyone had ever offered. They have been inseparable since that evening.

This wedding is an extension of what they have always built together — something impossibly rare, meticulously crafted, and lit from within.
