Ember Norder

Bridesmaid

Cate- Our journey since meeting in graduate school, sparked by your curiosity about my tattoo, has been incredible. Our friendship deepened through countless conversations about body modifications and our queer experiences. A special memory is discovering our shared love for plant tattoos—a mushroom on my arm and a monstera on yours. In that moment, surrounded by the beauty of nature permanently inked on our skin, I knew our friendship was destined to grow and flourish, much like the plants we hold dear. I'm grateful for your unwavering support and companionship. Your presence brings warmth and light into my life. Here's to many more years of laughter and meaningful adventures. May our friendship continue to blossom. With love and gratitude, Ember
