and when I left, I knew them. And I saw their lives so rich and full and their joy in abundance while the world was on pause.

full sun, full summer, high sun, high summer—she slid into his DMs and here we are.

you can meet them in person or see a photo of them in matching onesies and know they are a perfect pair through and through. their shapes fitted together. hands and feet and arms that move together.

crossing oceans and lands to approach this moment with steadfastness and certainty.

for your googly eye pleasure. or skip the scroll and have a good awkward dance around your room to this jam. you might need it. you definitely deserve it.

the very pines nodding in recognition—remembering the vows that had been shared. the ground a testimony to their faithfulness. a reminder of the choice and the joy.

it was still and sweet. warm breath and closeness. easy. nuts about them already. i love my couples so.

bridal inspo for the girl who gives zero you-know-whats. a love song to pizza and disco balls and wearing socks with louboutins. doing things the way you feel. fall in.

I landed in LA that morning. and was with Mckenzie and beau by noon. we chatted for a while in their home about harry potter and how they fell in love. their cat hopped up beside me on the table as McKenzie finished her hair. we parked, walked a couple blocks to an empty beach. just the three of us running around under thick grey marine layer. and then back to the car, a long drive downtown to an iconic bar.
