A Journey from Friendship to Love

Ruby and Ryan are not your typical bride and groom. They were friends for decades before becoming lovers. Their journey is unique, and their wedding reflects that. With great connections in the West Bottoms, they created an original celebration that truly represents their love story.

There’s a French song I’ve been listening to. The singer expresses a wish that someone had told him that not all love stories start with an intense fire. Some loves grow slowly over time. Every time I hear that song, I think of Ruby and Ryan. The song is MPL — “L’inverse du coup de foudre” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuolqLkC428.

The Wedding Venue: A Perfect Setting

The couple held their ceremony at Greenwood, an old church transformed into a theater. This venue also happens to be Ruby’s friend’s house. The transformation of this space into a wedding venue is a testament to their creativity and connections.

As if that wasn’t enough, they had the brilliant idea to invite the Dirty Force Brass Band to lead the way to The Ship. This bar in West Bottoms added a lively atmosphere to their celebration. The music was infectious. It was hard for me not to take blurry photos—this music could make my grandfather dance in his tomb! Somehow, I managed to keep my feet moving while my arms stayed steady. The photos turned out great.
