The wedding issue / Vol. 01

First look, final cut.

We met backstage at a February show on Mercer Street — Olivia running the lineup, James holding a steamer he didn't know how to use. The finale walked. The lights came up. We were still talking.

Six years later, SoHo is still our set. James proposed on the roof on Greene Street, in January, both of us in coats over pajamas. So we're staying on the block — one white loft, one long evening, everyone we love in the frame.

Wear the thing you've been saving. This is the occasion it was waiting for.

Editor’s notes

Dress codes, plus-ones, weather plans, and the final reply date.

What do we wear?+

Black tie, reinterpreted. Wear black, wear white, wear the piece you never get to wear. The floor is polished concrete, so any heel works.

Can I bring a guest?+

Your invitation names everyone on the list. The room seats exactly who it seats. Questions about your party — write to us and we'll sort it.

Are children invited?+

We adore them, and we're giving their parents the night off. Adults only, from the first look to the last song.

What happens if it rains?+

Everything happens indoors, six floors above the street. Rain only makes the windows better.

When is the RSVP deadline?+

Answer by August 1, 2026 — the seating chart goes to print soon after, and we'd hate to cut you.
