A3 The cast

Ring bear & flower girls

Drawn for the occasion, one colour each: Ayla in brick, Luca in ember, Kya in tide. They take their duties — petals, rings, the disco ball — extremely seriously.

Ayla, Luca & Kya

Flower girls, ring bear, and the disco ball they answer to.

A4 The pictures

A few, to begin with

An engagement in autumn, an afternoon among the roses, and a night at the bar — with a great many more to come after April.

Leaning against a bar counter, laughing at each other, an espresso martini and a vase of roses beside them.
The revelry
Sitting on the forest floor in a drift of brown leaves, in denim and corduroy, laughing at each other.
