001 — HERO
"Two hearts choosing each other, every single day."
How It Began
A Mission District coffee shop, 2022. Emma took the last good table. James asked to share. Neither left for six hours. They argued about espresso, swapped book recommendations, and somehow forgot everything else that day.
Four Years
They navigated long-distance, a cross-country move, and a 70-pound dog named Rusty who had strong opinions about everything. Through all of it, they kept choosing each other. Every single time.
The Proposal
James had hidden the ring inside a hollowed-out copy of To Kill a Mockingbird for three months. On a Tuesday in October 2025, in the fog of Point Reyes, with Rusty as the only witness, he asked. She said yes before he finished.
Until we say I do
"To love and be loved is to feel
the sun from both sides."
Day of the wedding
From first look to last dance — built around the people we love most.
01 — Ceremony
Gather in the estate garden as Emma and James exchange their vows beneath a canopy of wisteria, with the Sonoma hills as witness.
02 — Cocktails
Champagne, small bites, and the golden Sonoma light we've been dreaming of. Wander the gardens. Hug old friends. Meet new ones.
03 — Dinner
A harvest-style dinner in the grand hall, followed by speeches from people who've known us far too long and have the photos to prove it.
04 — Dancing
The band kicks in. The floor fills. This part ends when the venue says it has to — and we're planning to test that limit.
Everything you need to know
Our favourite humans
Drag to meet the people who made us who we are.
"Emma's been my best friend since 7th grade. I've been ready for this day longer than she has."
"James is my brother in every way that matters. My toast is under four minutes. Probably."
"I cried when she asked me. I cried at every fitting. I will cry at the wedding. I'm at peace with this."
"James is the most patient person I know. Emma is the only reason he ever needed to be."
"I flew in from London for this and would do it ten times over. These two are everything."
"He told me about Emma on day two of knowing her. I knew right then this was the one."
"He is wearing a bow tie. He has been practicing sitting still. Results remain inconclusive."
Moments we've collected along the way
We loved with a love that was more than love.
