Sofia was reading the last page of a novel first, which James still thinks is a crime. He said so. She said the ending is the only part worth trusting. They argued about it across the street, then across a very small table at the café on the corner, then, three winters later, on a bridge with the lamps just coming on, where he stopped arguing and asked instead. ![The Story](https://wedflip.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.futechx.cloud%2Fwedflip%2Ftemplates%2Fwedding-photo-sets%2Fv2%2Fb-city-night%2Fbouquet-gown-detail.webp\&w=3840\&q=75) ![Rue de Seine, the first winter](https://wedflip.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.futechx.cloud%2Fwedflip%2Ftemplates%2Fwedding-photo-sets%2Fv2%2Fb-city-night%2Frings-hands.webp\&w=3840\&q=75) — Rue de Seine, the first winter ![We kept walking until the streetlights came on, and then a while after that.](https://wedflip.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.futechx.cloud%2Fwedflip%2Ftemplates%2Fwedding-photo-sets%2Fv2%2Fb-city-night%2Fhero-landscape.webp\&w=3840\&q=75) We kept walking until the streetlights came on, and then a while after that.

The Eurostar arrives at Gare du Nord, a short metro ride away. On the day, the church and the reception are fifteen minutes apart — we will have cars waiting after the ceremony, but it is also a lovely walk along the river if the weather holds. Hotel Block Available 1. 01 Hôtel Récamier Tucked behind Saint-Sulpice, five minutes from the church. Mention our names. 2. 02 Hôtel des Grands Hommes Quiet, bookish, facing the Panthéon. Good for a long weekend. 3. 03 Le Pavillon de la Reine For anyone who would rather stay in the Marais and take a cab. Join Us ## RSVP There are exactly as many chairs as there are names. Tell us by the twentieth of September whether yours will be taken. Please kindly respond by Monday, September 20, 2027 to help us finalize our arrangements. [Crafted with Wed flip Planning a wedding?
