“Son hermanos?”
“No,” we replied in Chorus. “Los esposos!”

I handed it to him, a filthy gray and white Stussy I had stress-purchased in between writing deadlines three days before the wedding.

There’s not a moment in this world poignant enough to make me give up a favorite cap. I said this article’s about getting married, not canonized.
