Emma Hart & James Cole

14 August 2027

A Saturday in the city Emma and James met at a friend's birthday in a small room above a bookshop in Bloomsbury. He was late. She was the one who had saved him a chair. They spent a year writing long messages between London and a work trip that kept moving. The first Sunday they cooked together, the rice stuck and they ate it anyway. He asked on a wet walk along the river, with no speech prepared. She said yes before he finished the sentence. On 14 August 2027 they marry at St Bride's Church, then supper with the people who got them here. Come as you are, and stay for the last song.
