I’m pretty sure 8-year-old me would be can’t-even-ing over Jordan and Rob’s wedding at the Saint Louis Zoo, complete with animal table menageries and real live animal greeters. Grown-up me was can’t-even-ing […]

They laughed as they told me about their literary-themed jerseys with names like, “Jane Air” and “Dorian Trey.” It hasn’t been all fun and games, though.

Through it all, they never waivered on what they wanted- each other, no matter what. For their first look, we escaped to the wild. Brandon spent […]
