This, my friends, is one for the history books.

A wedding that was every bit them. Food trucks, Lego boutineers, vintage shoes and jewellery, a dress that had the perfect amount of crinkles, live musical performances (flash mob style, of course), the wedding cake all a-flame, a living room furniture lounge, and tons of other quirky, whimsical fun.

When you photograph a couple who is in the theatre community you know it’s going to be hella good.

Jessie & Steven, you throw a great party.

You don’t fall in love like you fall in a hole. You fall like falling through space. It’s like you jump off your own private planet to visit someone else’s planet. And when you get there it all looks different: the flowers, the animals, the colours people wear. It is a big surprise falling in love because you thought you had everything just right on your own planet, and that was true, in a way, but then somebody signaled to you across space and the only way you could visit was to take a giant jump. Away you go, falling into someone else’s orbit and after a while you might decide to pull your two planets together and call it home. And you can bring your dog. Or your cat. Your goldfish, hamster, collection of stones, all your odd socks. (The ones you lost, including the holes, are on the new planet you found.)

And you can bring your friends to visit. And read your favourite stories to each other. And the falling was really the big jump that you had to make to be with someone you don’t want to be without. That’s it.

PS: You have to be brave. -Jeanette Winterson
