FIRST DATE Mar/01/2015 [omigod is that the day the world ended? it was sometime in 2013-2015] It's hard to date properly when you're being pursued by powerful states bent on revenge for your work publishing evidence of war crimes, but they met nearly every day in the Embassy and realized how they felt about one another. They found love in a hopeless place. MARRIAGE PROPOSAL Jun/09/2017 Julian was always the more comfortable one, and when the moment came, when he asked the question, they wondered, could we actually have that dream of normal love and life together? Could we reach for love amidst the fury of corrupt interests trying to track, imprison and assassinate us? Image: https://assangewedding.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Picsart_22-03-14_22-59...

WEDDING CONFIRMATION Nov/12/2021 [awwww that's so recent!!!!] Julian and Stella initially intended to marry in the Ecuadorian Embassy, where Julian had been forced into asylum, but were not able to wed until Julian was granted citizenship. Under the pro-Washington Moreno government, that prospect had become impossible, even once he obtained citizenship. After his asylum was unlawfully revoked, and he was dragged from the embassy and thrown into Belmarsh, Julian and Stella asked the prison, in December of 2020, to allow them to marry. After a lot of back and forth, and a few threats of legal action, Belmarsh finally relented and agreed to allow the couple to have their wedding in late 2021.
