Before You Came Along
A wedding gift that gathers friends’ and family members’ memories from before a couple met, then delivers illustrated stories to the couple in the weeks before the wedding.
- For
- Wedding couples and the people who knew them first
- Worth noticing
- The page recommends starting a couple of months before the wedding, with the first moments arriving a few weeks before it.
Field notes
The proposed process starts with an organizer describing the couple and inviting contributors by email. Each contributor writes about one partner’s earlier years, and the page says those memories are illustrated before being sent to both phones. The suggested lead time is a couple of months, with the first deliveries arriving a few weeks before the wedding. The sample stories are explicitly identified as made-up demonstrations.
