Nora and Teo have both been told they met at a friend's barbecue, but each remembers a different barbecue — and every issue they argue their way one summer further back toward the real one.

Start with this ideaEvery couple has the story, and every wedding has a speech that gets it slightly wrong. Make it a comic instead: the two of them drawn from their photos, in a look that suits them, with the barbecue, the wrong train and the first terrible flat drawn the way they really were.

Write how they met and what kept happening after: the argument that never ended, the city they keep going back to. Choose Everyone or Teen as the rating on the first step, so the grandparents can watch it too.
Shojo Sparkle for a love story with stars in its eyes, Painted Graphic Novel for the epic version, Storybook Gouache for something soft enough to frame.
Add a photo of each of them to their model sheets, with their permission, and they're drawn in the look from them — the same two faces in every panel. The best friend and the dog can join the cast.
Give the writer the real moments, in order or in a pile. Read each script before a panel is drawn, then download the finished issue to play at the reception or wrap it up as the gift.
Press start and the premise lands in the box of a new comic with its look already picked. Change every word, or the look, before anything is drawn.

Start with this ideaA bride who plans everything and a groom who has never once been on time organise a wedding across three time zones, and every issue one of them wins a round.

Start with this ideaOr in any of the twenty-eight. A comic picks one look on its second step, and every panel of every issue keeps it.




Yes. The comic is made on your account, not theirs. Photos of the couple need their permission to use, so ask the one who's in on it — or describe them both to the studio and let it imagine them, and keep the surprise whole.
Start it before the week of the wedding, not the night before. Issue #1 is written and drawn once the board is set, and it comes to your desk to review first — you'll want time to ask for another take on a panel or two.
Download the finished issue as a narrated video with music and play it from a laptop, or download its panels in a zip with the captions and put them on the tables.
