John & Anna

We met on a Tuesday in November, in the queue at a bookshop café on Szewska Street, both waiting for the same badly-made coffee. John was carrying a novel he had already read twice; Anna said so out loud, which is how the conversation started and, frankly, how most of them have started since. Six years, two apartments and one very opinionated cat later, we are getting married a fifteen-minute walk from that queue. We would love you there — for the ceremony at the registry office, and then for a long evening in the gardens at Villa Decius. Come hungry. There will be too much food, several speeches, and dancing until the neighbours complain.
