Brooke and Elba: A Love Story

Since 1995, our journey together has flourished, culminating in a joyous legal marriage the moment it was recognized by law, and outlaw wedding on a pirate ship in San Francisco Bay a few years before. Side-by-side, we’ve shared life’s duties and dreams, championing a brighter future for all. This harmonious union and hard work gave birth to StarWater. Our hearts have room for both human friends and canine companions. We cherish the exchange of tales and adventures, while honoring the cherished autonomy of individuals communing with nature.
