Album Notes
We wrote these songs between 2021 and 2022 to celebrate the love of six couples who we are lucky enough to count as friends. In each case, we asked the couple to tell us the story of their relationship, to talk about how their partners make them feel, and to share their hopes for the future. We turned these stories into songs and shared them at their weddings. It’s been one of the most meaningful activities we’ve shared together, and in celebration of our own wedding, we’re putting these out into the world.
