How we became us

Our story

Chapter one

How we met

Amara was watering roses at the Sunday market when Julian mistook her stall for a book fair. The apology flowers turned into a year of long walks and even longer letters — all of them about nothing, all of them kept.

Chapter two

The proposal

Under the same garden where we first argued about books, Julian knelt among the peonies at golden hour. Amara said yes before he finished the question — twice, to be sure.

Chapter three

Forever begins

On the fourteenth of June, surrounded by everyone we love, we begin the longest chapter of all. Thank you for being part of the story before the first page was even turned.

Dress code

Soft pastels & garden florals. Dresses in blush, lavender, powder blue and sage are all warmly welcome — as are pockets full of petals.

The ceremony will be held outdoors, weather permitting — a light shawl is a lovely idea.
