Heyyyyyyy 35-year-old us!!!!

How's it going???

Are you married to each other yet?!?!

No???

We thought not.

Anyway. Time to start planning your wedding :)

In case you've somehow forgotten about this (???) we will now jog your memory.

The date is October 20th 2010, and we, your 20 year old selves, have just entered into a very serious, legally binding, marriage pact in our tiny apartment at U-Dub.

The pact is as follows:

If neither of us are married or engaged by this day in 15 years, we will marry each other.

Yes. This is real.

Yes. There were witnesses. (Maybe ;) )

No. You cannot back out.

Memory jogged???

Perfect.

So… reply to this email immediately and begin wedding planning. We assume Pinterest exists in the future. If not, get on that.

We can already hear the wedding bells.

Love,

Maya and Carina <3

xoxo

P.S. in the event you forgot who the other person was (not sure how you could, amnesia maybe) we have attached a photo of us :)
