Amara & Joséphine Are Engaged
The Amalfi Coast, a terrace above the water, a question asked at dusk. An elegant engagement for two people who take their time with everything important.

Naomi Okonkwo
Amara's sister · maid of honour, obviously
Amara — my sister, my first phone call for thirty-one years. I have watched you become, with Joséphine, the most generous version of yourself. She is family now, and I could not have chosen better for you if you had handed me the pen. I love you both more than I can fit in this box.

Claire Beaumont
Joséphine's oldest friend · since Lyon
Joséphine, chérie — I have known you since the lycée, through every chapter, and I have never seen you as steady and as bright as you are beside Amara. You found your person. Félicitations, mes amours.

Thomas & Priya Raghavan
friends of the couple
From one long-married pair to a newly-promised one: the secret is exactly what you two already do — laugh at the same hour, forgive quickly, and keep the kettle on. Congratulations, both of you.

Estelle Moreau
the friend who introduced them
I was at the dinner where you two met and I have been insufferable about predicting this ever since. I accept all credit and no responsibility. With so much love to you both.

Daniel Okonkwo
Amara's brother
Amara — your little brother here. You taught me to ride a bike, to drive, and to apologise properly. Joséphine, thank you for making her this happy. Welcome to the loud, warm chaos of us.

Sœur Bernadette
Amara's old teacher
I taught Amara at school and I have rarely written a happier note than this one. May your home be full of light and the good kind of noise. Every blessing on your engagement.

Yusuf Adeyemi
colleague of Amara's
Amara, Joséphine — congratulations from all of us at the studio. Take the holiday. The work will keep. Happiness like this will not wait, and you have found it. Bravo.
When Amara called to say Joséphine had asked her — on the terrace above the sea, at the precise hour the light goes gold — there was a great deal of joyful, useless crying on both ends of the line.
We could not gather everyone who loves them in one room, so we have done the next best thing and gathered the words. Some of you have known Amara since she was small; some met Joséphine only this year and were, like the rest of us, immediately won over.
Add your voice below. We are keeping all of it.
With love20 May 2026
"I knew, the way you know a true thing, before she had finished the question."
Amara
