BEHIND
the BRAND
You should know that as an absolute matter of principle we refuse to say “pretend.”
We also won’t say dip her or jump in the air either. That’s because we believe that everything that makes love beautiful and a story worth telling, is also what makes it unstaged, imperfect, and real.
While we're at it, we will also never ask you to do anything too stiff or posey. And the only kind of “cheese” we like is the Robusto from Whole Foods paired with a delightful fig jam. Which we will undoubtedly serve to you when you come over to meet with us. Along with our favorite Sauv Blanc.

“He takes my hand and we walk. Out into the uncertain, out into the unknown. But walking, always walking, in the direction of our dreams. I talk and he listens. Talk about everything, talk about nothing. Talk until the whole world makes sense again.”
