the cute gay wedding you'll tell all your straight friends about

We met all the way back in 2009, when Emily had the worst haircut of her life, and Aria still thought she was straight. We initially bonded over writing Cold War spy fiction, but quickly discovered that we shared even MORE interests that made us a dubious bet at parties. "She's so funny," we both thought. "She's so brilliant and interesting. She can never find out what a nerd I am." The con was on. Over the next thirteen years, we would: - create an Ancient Aliens themed drinking game - write literally millions of words together - get really into the French Revolution - co-parent two cats - argue repeatedly about the existence of the Loch Ness Monster and a bunch of other stuff as we gradually eased each other into how weird we were, like turning up the heat on a frog in a pot. Aria also learned how joyful, courageous, and indomitable Emily is, while Emily discovered Aria's integrity, devotion, and insight. We made each other happier, stronger, better people. We lifted one another up during the dark times, and we made one another laugh during the good times. We can't wait to keep doing it for the rest of our lives. Thank you for joining us to celebrate our love!
