Meet the Unicorns

I can't believe I get to type this:

Hello, Hive!!! Meet your newest bee!

I was so thrilled to find the acceptance e-mail in my inbox. I called poor Mr. Unicorn at work and left him a very long, excited voicemail. Poor man called me back to ask why I had left him 45 seconds worth of non-stop squealing on his phone. To which I replied, “Because we’re the Unicorns!!!!!”

And who are the Unicorns, exactly?

I’ll start with the Mr.

Personal Photo-Yes that's a heart-shaped chicken nugget.

Isn’t he handsome?

Mr. Unicorn is a 22-year-old graphic designer and photographer. He’s sweet, funny, even-keeled, and patient.

In other words, he’s my total opposite.

Where he’s laid-back, I’m high-strung. Where he’s cool-headed and logical, I’m irrational and impulsive. He’s Jewish, I’m Catholic.

You see what I’m getting at? He completes me.

You probably wanna know why I picked the unicorn. After all, I could have just as easily decided on the cauldron or the sword.

Well obviously the icon's overwhelmingly pink cuteness played a big role. Mr. Unicorn and I also collaborated on a very detailed drawing of a unicorn's digestive tract. Don't ask why. All I remember is that I was trying to prove some kind of point, but the conversation degenerated into an argument about whether unicorns fart rainbows. Very mature topic of discussion, as you can see. Against my better judgment, I have decided to include the drawing below. Feel free to critique my technique or composition. I used my preferred medium of ballpoint pen on old receipt paper.

We’re very excited about our upcoming wedding. Together, we’re planning a rustic, fall wedding with lots of cutesy, DIY touches that will make it more personal and memorable for everyone.  

I can’t wait to share this with all of you. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as we will!

Much love,

Miss Unicorn
