bon appétit.

Ro Rexha. Born n' raised in NYC, and living in a loft. I'm the number one Sous Chef in the city, and was number one free spirit until recently. The government are forcing me to marry some stranger that I know nothing about, so I guess I'll be a boring loser soon enough. If you can save me, then please feel free to. If not. I'll settle for a slice for a pizza and a sympathetic smile. xoxo

[written inside]

Congratulations, Angel and Ro! 

Will and I weren’t sure if you would need these or not, but there’s a gift receipt in case you want to send them back. Since we know and have heard that you both like to cook and bake, we thought this might be nice for the both of you.

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness & if there is anything we can do for either of you, please don’t hesitate to ask!

With love, The Turner family

[A large gift box, along with a letter are delivered to @angelreports​​ on the morning of their wedding by Roza’s mom.] 

THE LETTER READS:

Hey, baby.

Today’s the big day, and I’ve got to admit that I’m feeling pretty nervous. It’s the good kind of nervous, though. The kind that makes all the butterflies swarm around the pit of my stomach. I never thought I’d actually be sitting here, writing this letter on the morning of my wedding. I always figured that I’d either be freaking the hell out, or crying and screaming at my mom and dad to let me go to jail instead. But you came along and changed everything, didn’t you? 

I read your piece in the paper last night, and I’m embarrassed to say that it reduced me to tears. They were happy tears, though. There wasn’t a hint of sadness. It was a little overwhelming to read how you feel about me, knowing that the whole of New York is also going to know by today. It’s the sweetest thing in the world, and the grandest gesture. Like I told you before, I’m never sure how to respond to compliments, or huge declarations of affection. I’m pretty much an awkward mess. 

But you make me feel a little braver than I usually am, and like I can express myself freely to you with no judgement. I know that whatever I say to you will make sense to you, even if it doesn’t to anyone else, or even myself; because you understand me. You get me. 

Words are your forte, not mine – but regardless of that, I’m going to try and express in the best way I can how I feel about you. So, buckle up, sweetheart, we’re going to take a ride on the emotional rollercoaster of life.

Meeting you was like...I can’t even explain. It was like walking into a room filled with millions of people, but you were the one who stood out. It was like a little voice in my head said, ‘Oh, there they are. This is the person you’ve been looking for your whole life.’ Talking to you was refreshing, and you were like the brightest star in the darkest sky. I felt like dirt when I saw you, because of my letter. But you made me feel better, because you felt the same, and you understood. We’ve done everything pretty backwards, haven’t we? We fell in like at first sight, slept together, then tried to hate each other, because we discovered we were each others matches. I’m sure it was supposed to be the other way around. But how very us, am I right? Never sticking to the norm, and being different from everybody else. 

When I’m around you, everything feels alright, you know? Even if I’m worried about money, my parents, or just life in general, being around you makes me feel like it’s all okay. You don’t even have to do anything but sit there and smile, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world, because I get to be with you. 

I’m not sure if I’m in love, because honestly, I have no idea how that’s meant to feel. I have nobody to compare you to, and I’m glad about that. I’m glad that you’re the first person I’ve connected with emotionally, and let myself fall for. You are one hell of a person, and I’m not quite sure I’ll ever deserve you. We fit together, though, like puzzle pieces. 

The way I feel about you simply can’t be summed up with words, or even actions. No sonnet, poem, song, or ring will ever be able to help you understand the deep affection I feel for you. I think that maybe only I will ever be able to understand it, but I kind of like that. It’s special to know that only I will ever be able to feel this way about you, and nobody else will, because it’s just such a unique thing.

You make my heart feel full, and bring so much happiness and excitement to my life. 

I think I’m beginning to feel what Shakespeare always wrote about. 

One half of me is yours, the other half yours. Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, And so all yours.

Happy wedding day, Angel.

Love,

Ro. x

NOTE ON THE GIFT BOX READS:

I had these made weeks ago, when we first started planning. The first bauble for our tree together, along with matching key rings for our first apartment together.

The sneakers are for after the wedding, because who wants to wear heels all night in the cold, and snow? Not US, because I also have a matching pair. We’re going to look so fly at the gym.

Angel: I know exactly what you mean.

Angel: I have everything ready I hope. I made a checklist and it looks like I'm good to go. I packed everything up too which is so surreal.

Angel: I think the gym is a great way to get rid of that energy. I think I'll go for a walk. Also, I dropped something off so you should go check it out . I didn't want to see you right before the wedding;)

Angel: I'm looking forward to you getting to know Levi!!! And lol lizards sounds perfect. They're my fave anyway!!

Ro: Look at you, so organized with your checklist. I probably should've made one, but I prefer to breeze through life and forget things.

Ro: Ahh! You're going to be living with me after tomorrow! We can stay up late swapping manly stories, and in the morning, I'm making waffles!

Ro: Stay safe on your walk! Oh, you did??? You should've knocked! I have some halloween masks knocking around. Seeing each other doesn't count if we look like Bride of Chucky and Spider-Man.

Ro: Great! We can check out lizards as soon as we get our new place, then.

[rorexha]

dariusrufus:

Why not though, bff? I feel like we should have it all just for being perfect? That it is the greatest idea actually. We are exactly what they’ve been looking for! So, how’s that cake coming along? Tomorrow is the big day, huh?!

I feel the same way, but I don’t think the world agrees with us. Maybe we should make a gofundme, and tell our story about achieving the most perfect, organic friendship, and ask people to support it. I thought so, too. I love Neopets. The cake is almost finished! I just need to add a few more finishing touches, and it’ll be perfect. It is, and it’s insane how quickly it’s arrived. I’m not really sure what to do with myself. Maybe I should rewatch Rick and Morty.

[rorexha]

trixie-windsor:

It’d be nice if it was as easy as that, maybe someday we’ll find out. 

I thought your wedding would’ve been a really obvious way of coming out! If your family don’t know you’re gay after you married a woman, then they are very silly people. Then again, I’d marry a female friend for fun, so...maybe they’re not that silly.

[rorexha]

charlottebrewington:

You’re telling me! One moment it’s 10 p.m. the next it’s 3 a.m. and I have no idea what I did with all that time or how I ended up where I did on Reddit. lol. Get out of here with that theory though! No way! I’m a little scared to venture into that lol! But you know I will anyway. Thank you. I hope so too. He’s good to me and that’s all I really want. How are you feeling? The wedding is tomorrow and can I say how much I love the bonfire idea?

We’ve all been there. Reddit is like the internet version of hell. I went in feeling pretty pessimistic about the whole thing, because how on earth could someone pull that off, right? But then I saw the videos, and now I’m out here believing that Avril Lavigne was replaced. The internet is no good for me, yet I spend so much time using it. Finding someone like that is so special. I’m starting to think that the government know us better than we know ourselves. I’m nervous! Like, I can’t sit still... But I’m also excited? Not excited that I’m being forced into marriage, but excited that I get to marry Angel out of all the people in the world. Thank you! I’m just glad that we can still go ahead with it, despite the crazy weather. I hope you’re ready for s’mores!

[rorexha]

surge-rodriguez:

Yeah, since with tomorrow you’ll be a part of it. But yeah, I guess so. I won’t expect you to come to any of the matches though. 

I’m looking forward it. It’ll be a special day for sure, and I hope you’ll enjoy yourself. Thank you, that’s really nice of you. I’m sure you’re great at what you do without having to see.

Angel: Wild!!!! I love it.

Angel: I CANT'T BELIEVE IT! Do you have everything you need? I can't wait to see you!

Angel: I'm nervous but chill at the same time. We should! And living around Levi and Alex will be so great! Aww, Ro! I really love that actually. I hope Citrine is okay with me moving in...

Angel: What kinda pet are you thinking?

Ro: Very wild! Kinda feels like a dream, you know?

Ro: I think so, but I've probably forgotten something. Hopefully it'll be nothing major! How about you? Me too. The next time we see each other, we're both gonna be in wedding outfits, and about to be wed!

Ro: I can't stop moving around. It feels like I've got too much energy buzzing around my body. I think I might have to go the gym. It will be! Alex is the best! I need to get to know Levi, so living near him would help with that. Of course she is! Citrine loves company, because it means more people to rub her tummy and feed her treats.

Ro: Hmm... Something different? Not a dog, because Citrine would hate us forever. Same goes for another cat... She'd eat a bird. The place will probably be too small to house an elephant. So, I guess we'll have to look at lizards or snakes!

Ro: What do you think?

[rorexha]

Text: Ro💖

Angel: :) You called me babe. 😊😊😊😊

Angel: Totally gross.

Angel: WE ARE?!!

Angel: lol I'm so excited and also, are you ready for this!?!? Levi and Alex mentioned there are going to be a few affordable apartments going up for rent in their building. What do you think? We can have our own place :)

Ro: I did! And tomorrow I'll be calling you my spouse.😱😱😱

Ro: WE ARE! Less than 24 hours to go!

Ro: I'm glad you're excited. I'm nervous excited! Oooh, that sounds good! We should go and check them out. If they're bigger than my place, we should get a pet. I mean, I'm happy to share Citrine with you, but we should have something that's ours.

Angel: babe?

Angel: Baby?

Angel: Honey?

Angel: Cutie?

Angel: Sugar lips?

Angel: Rose bud?

Angel: Eww Rose bud. lolol! I'm just trying out these nicknames but hey gorgeous!

Ro: Hey, babe!

Ro: I like all of those, except rose bud, so I'm glad you think it's gross too.

Ro: We're getting married tomorrow!!!!!

[rorexha]

livroy:

They’re my match’s best-friend, so yes I have. Angel is pretty cool. What kind of a cake are you going for? Chocolate? Vanilla? Red Velvet? I honestly don’t even know what my cake is. Guess I’ll find out when I eat it. I’m glad it’s going well, pickle! With all these weddings, it feels like an oddly stressful period.

Yeah, they’re great. I’m a lucky pickle. Well, I can reveal to you that two out of three of those are featured. Your cake was great, and I’m sorry that I couldn’t offer you more cake support before you got married, but I was busy with wedding prep. Thank you! Yeah, there’s a lot of weddings this month, and it’s sort of insane. I’ve never had such a busy schedule. I have a social life all of a sudden, which is crazy.

christian-sage:

That does make sense, I’m sure everyone expects it to be absolutely perfect every time. It does have to be extremely stressful on you.

Luckily for me, I don’t bake for a living! I’m a sous chef, but I’m trying to save money on my wedding by doing the cake myself. My match is helping me, of course, and it’s going great so far.
