A3 The cast

Ring bear & flower girls

Drawn for the occasion, one color each: Ayla in peony, Luca in aperol, Kya in wisteria. They take their duties — petals, rings, the disco ball — extremely seriously.

Flower girls, ring bear, and the disco ball they answer to.

A few, to begin with

An engagement in autumn, an afternoon among the roses, and a night at the bar — with a great many more to come after April.
