"I CHOOSE YOU"SARAH and CYNTHIA
A 60-page magazine capturing a decade-long love story — from a Baptist college blanket tradition to a Pokémon-themed wedding.
ABOUT THE DAYSarah and Cynthia met at a small Baptist women's college in Alabama in 2014, when Cynthia knocked on a stranger's door and dropped to one knee to ask her to sit on a blanket.
Eleven years later, they got married at Lionsgate Event Center in Colorado — with a rabbit in a bow tie, Pokémon centerpieces auctioned off for charity, and a ten-minute musical performance that made everyone cry.
This magazine tells their full story: the years of hiding at a school where being out meant losing each other as roommates. The move to Colorado for a safe space to exist. The father who called a month before the wedding to say he couldn't support it, and the father-in-law who danced with Sarah in his place. Two dresses made by hand — one crocheted from scratch, one pulled from storage and dyed black.
Their motto for the wedding day? "Fuck it, we ball."
