The Story Between Us · Commissioned illustrated edition Made one at a time

their whole
story.

Over a few quiet weeks we ask each of them the questions that matter — separately, so the answers stay a surprise. They come back as an illustrated book.

Look inside · real plates, example words

the answers are theirs. the pairing is ours.

Two people, asked the same question weeks apart, never comparing notes. Then we set the answers side by side and draw what happens.

Note · The plates below are real, from a book we made. The names, answers, dates and timings shown with them are written examples — the couple's own words are private to them.

A man standing with a shovel over his shoulder while a woman kneels hugging a zombie greyhound, in an overgrown ruined city.
Plate 04 · The important questions

Who survives the zombie apocalypse — and how?

RRae

Tom thinks I'd go first. He's right, and it would be worth it. Have you seen a dog like that? It clearly needs someone.

· · ·
TTom

Rae goes first. Not because she's slow — because she'd stop to say hello to something. I'd be right behind her holding a shovel I have no idea how to use.

Plate 09 · The hard ones

What have you carried together that you couldn't have carried alone?

RRae

The year we lost Biscuit. I didn't cook for a week. Tom didn't say a single wise thing, which was exactly right. He just sat on the kitchen floor with me until I could stand up.

TTom

I still haven't moved the bed. Neither of us has said why.

Asked week fiveThe one question they could skip — neither did
What you get

what you get, and why it works.

A book of their own answers, illustrated — on screen the moment it’s done, in hardback if you choose.

Their words

We ask each of them the same questions, weeks apart, without the other seeing. Their answers go in almost untouched — we edit for length, never for meaning.

Original plates

Every spread gets an illustration drawn for that specific answer, in one style you choose, with both of them recognizable in it.

A real thing, either way

The digital edition with every illustration to keep — and a printed hardback if you choose it. Not an app, not a subscription. One book, made once.

How it works

ten weeks of quiet work. then a parcel.

You do the first five minutes. We do the rest — and nothing reaches the couple until it's ready to delight them.

01

You commission

Both partners, the wedding date, a few private notes. Five minutes, then you can forget about it.

02

They answer, apart

About four weeks of warm, well-timed questions by message — independently, so the answers stay a surprise from each other.

03

We craft & illustrate

We pair their answers into spreads, polish the words without flattening the voice, and draw a scene for each.

04

You approve, we bind

You proof the whole book. The digital edition is theirs the moment you approve it; the hardback follows — and the date picker tells you, before you pay, whether it lands before the day.

From the question bank · asked one at a time, weeks apart

What do they think their best quality is — and what is it actually?

Describe your first kiss the way a nature documentary would.

When did you know? Not the day you said it — the moment you knew.

What's the argument you keep having, and who's right? Be honest, they can't see this yet.

Sixty more where these came from. Each couple gets their own set — chosen for them, never the same book twice.

Pricing

Pricing.

$395$100 today · the rest as each book is approved

Everything in the recommended package, plus a second book made a year on, from a year of being married. The first anniversary is traditionally paper. Commissioned separately, the two would be $500.

If they never answer, you get every dollar back — automatically, without asking twice. Printing happens only after you have approved every page, so the promise costs us little and removes your biggest worry.

Book № 001 was commissioned in 2025 — the plates on this page are from it.

  • Every price shown before it is charged — nothing added at the end
  • Full refund if they never answer — printing happens after you approve, so it costs us little to promise
  • Weeks of guided questions to both of them, handled for you
  • Two rounds of changes included; anything we got wrong is always free
  • Reference photos deleted once the book is delivered — and we ask them first
  • 10% of everything goes to the One Love Foundation
Questions people ask us

the honest answers.

How long does it take?

About ten weeks, commission to parcel. Four of those are the questions themselves — asked one at a time, by message, so answering never feels like homework. You do the first five minutes; we do the chasing.

What if the wedding is soon?

Tell us the date and we tell you plainly, before you pay, what will and will not arrive in time. The digital edition arrives the moment the book is finished, whatever the calendar says — the print follows when it follows.

What if they never answer?

Every dollar back, automatically. We never bind a blank book. Printing only happens after you have approved every page, so the guarantee costs us little to make and removes your biggest worry entirely.

How are the illustrations made?

They are AI-generated, in a single house style you choose, and then reviewed and corrected by hand before you see them. We do not claim they are drawn by hand — and you approve every plate before anything is printed. The reference photos you share are deleted once the book is delivered, and we ask both partners before using them.

Why ask them separately?

Asked in the same room, they would perform for each other. Asked weeks apart, they tell the truth — and the overlap between two honest answers is the moving part. Neither sees the other's words until the book is in their hands.

Who is it for?

Best man, maid of honor, parents — the people expected to produce something meaningful who would rather not produce another framed print. It works best on couples with a running joke, a disastrous holiday, a badly behaved dog. It needs material. And yes, a couple can commission their own.

Commission their book.
