When part of your job, albiet happily self-created, includes laying out a magazine, the weeks fly by faster than those few preceeding Christmas. Always a pleasure, though, sifting through the images from each feature. We have a talented line-up, once again.

I only recently met Stephanie Sunderland, the photographer and stylist for our cover feature, Three if by Sea. When she described her concept to me: a castaway bridal shoot, I was so intrigued. When I opened my mailbox to find the disc of images, I was giddy. When I popped the disc into my computer and saw what she had created, I was speechless. (I’m beginning to sound like I’m writing a sequel to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. My kids and I have been reading quite a bit over the summer.) I know you will love it. I do wonder, though, what sort of music you hear when you see it?

A sincere thank-you to the generous and talented folks who con-tribute their work to Beloved. This endeavor obviously would not be possible without them.

Cheers to real love and another beautiful issue of Beloved.

I got married last summer by the sea, in La Jolla, CA. While it was gorgeous and fun, it was always more

of my husband’s dream than mine. If I were to do it all again, I would plan something in an English inspired garden. I’d have a small, intimate ceremony and a brunch (my favorite meal) following.

I orginally got married in Austin, Texas. The wed-ding had a very southwestern feel with lots of bright

colors, margaritas and mexican food. If I would to get married again, I would definitely do it in my hometown of Santa Barbara. It’s super lush and green there in the springtime and I would just let the natural beauty of our surrounding shine.

I sat still, admiring the lovely pair of earrings I had just been given, trying to descretely blink back the tears. There was no

reason I should have been so emotional. It was my birthday, afterall. Friends give each other gifts on their birthdays. It was the gift with the note: “something to make you feel pretty.”

gift giving is an art form, a skill to be learned. Perhaps more importantly, a skill to be used. We’ve gathered an assortment of gifts perfect for giving along with pretty cards for the note (arguably the most important part of the gift.)

After the perfect gift has been found, the way it’s packaged is monumental in the message being sent. Anyone can fold

paper around a box, but it is the little extra care and the lovely note that makes the recipient feel especially cared for.

Jocelyn & aaron

Real love is a choice. one may argue that to be false. I’ll argue that it’s true. People can convince themselves that they are in love. But what happens when the madness of falling in love has subsided, and you are left staring at the reality of the one that you chose to love forever? you smile and keep loving. you love harder. Deeper. you love longer than you have ever done anything before. you prove to the one that you chose that you meant every word, every time you said, “I love you.” Because, truly, you have learned what real love is.

All it takes is one rough relationship to force a person to look up and notice who else might be looking their way. Having shared the same major in col-lege, Jocelyn didn’t notice Aaron until she was forced to look up. He, on the other hand, noticed her from the first day.

After nine months of a long-distance friendship turned into sharing a fireworks-filled kiss on the top of a mountain, they knew they were ready to intentionally date and spend time

real wedding

getting to know each other.

Jocelyn is a planner. Aaron is sponta-neous. For the first time ever in their three-year relationship, Aaron planned – in advance – a ski weekend with Jocelyn. She thought something was up. When a photographer showed up for their date, she was certain some-thing was up. He asked her to marry him and she said, “of course!”

That brisk January day was picture per-fect until the last run; they crashed into each other. He was fine. She was not. Transported by sled down the moun-tain and carted off to the emergency room, they discovered Jocelyn had destroyed her ACL, MCL and menis-cus. Aaron loved her through it all and chose to be by her side every step on the road back to health. Real love.

Real love, like theirs, is about being in each others lives on a daily basis doing the ordinary tasks that ordinary people do: cooking, laughing, washing dishes. Real love is about finding the beauty in these every day moments – because the beauty is there, if one chooses to see it.

We all have people that inspire us. People who drive us to create something great in ourselves and to make the world beautiful around us. Sometimes we know these people on a personal level, and other

times, we know them from afar. Taylor Allen is one of those people that inspire. We first met Taylor through Instagram (@tayloroctober) where she journals the beautiful life she is creating for herself.

Photographer Brittany Marie (@purrbrittple) scheduled a meet-up with Taylor in the city and spent the afternoon browsing second-hand book stores, talking shop and drinking hot coffee and iced lattes.

Taylor loves to read. Her favorite author is John green. “He is just so real and it shows through in his writing. I think his writing is easy for people... to connect with and understand. My favorite book by him is The Fault in our Stars. It ’s amazing. He’s amazing!”

We asked Taylor what feels like home, “When i think of a home i think of a place where i am surrounded by the things that make me the happiest. the things i choose to surround myself with are: plants, books and my heart.

plants seriously make me one happy girl. i have 4 currently in my room and they are my sweethearts. if they die, i cry. it’s a weird overly obsessive connection that i have to them that i’m fine with having.

Books. i love books. i have a rule for myself; if i read a book i have to keep it. i don’t like the feeling of reading a library book and having to return it after i have read it and it’s in my mind. i like to keep my books stacked in my room; they’re my other sweethearts.

i believe that home is where the heart is, and my heart lies within the things i love that i surround myself with.”

Page 53: Beloved issue 3
Page 54: Beloved issue 3

A perfect day for her is, “a relaxed one. one filled with doing quiet things that I like. My wonderful boyfriend and I feel the same when it comes to this, and we love to go to a park, and just sit and not talk. We love to not talk and yet enjoy one another’s company. We enjoy the wordless time by writing in our sepa-rate journals, reading, or just closing our eyes. It ’s so nice, and that is always what comes to my mind as being a perfect day.

My perfect drink will always be a 16 ounce iced chai tea latte with soy. It ’s per-fect to me.”

There are always those moments that our memory holds captive. if you could only have one memory to keep for-ever, what would it be?

“If I could hold onto only one memory from my life forever, it would be one distinct memory that is near and dear to my heart.

one day, I was having a bad day - when I have bad days, I escape to my grandma and grandpa’s house. It ’s my ultimate getaway where I can let go of everything that is bothering me in my life and just enjoy their company and uplifting spirits.

While I was over there this one specific time, my grandpa was down-stairs playing his guitar to a cd track so my grandma and I wend downstairs to join him. The evening was filled with music and good vibes. I listened as my talented grandpa (who is also my life role model) played the guitar while my grandma clapped her hands and sang along. I will never forget the feeling of happiness I felt with my grandparents that night.”

you already inspire so many people with your photos and authenticity, how do you want to be remembered?

“I want to be remembered as free.

I want to be remembered as a person who

accepted everybody as they are.

I have always been taught to accept and love everybody,

and I am grateful to my parents who raised me that way

because I’d much rather have an open and accepting mindset

than a condescending closed one.

I want to be remembered as somebody who loved just being.

Loved being alive,

loved being happy,

loved loving people.”

The pictures were color corrected. Anyone who was there knows that the light of the pictures is a bit inaccurate. The light, as I remember it, was light; a brightish pink. or maybe the ground was. Light pink and light purple bathing everything in light. The light felt close. The whole thing felt close. Like something out of a storybook or fairy tale. unnatural — or maybe super natural. The grey-green-blue lightpoles shot out from the ground in the name of art, but to the glory of high school kids’ Facebook pages.

The LACMA. The proposal. This was our destination. But it wasn’t the journey.

you could say the journey started 335 days or so before. 11 months. But about 10 months earlier, we’d been there before. Date number two.

Truth be told, it wasn’t our destination in the first place. you might say that about a lot of things in our relation-ship. I looked it up on the off chance the plans should go sour. Truth be told, I’m not great at details, even though I love them; so out of a kind of cau-tion, and fear of my own inner man, I often scaffold out contingency plans because — well, because I’m not great at details.

essay by glen smallman

The destination was originally to hear a great band play great music at a great venue. And like any great band playing great music, they were sold out. not great. oops.

“no way!” I thought, panicked, “I’m going to look like an idiot. okay, feign confidence, breathe…”

“I have a contingency plan,” I an-nounced. She smiled and shrugged, nonchalantly. There was never a hook I was on in the first place. Which has always been one of my favorite things: she never tests me. There’s never an invisible measuring stick I may or may not be meeting up to.

The LACMA. It has this name which rings of self-importance. Like you should know what it is just by talking about. Lack. Muh. The LACK is heavy, and cracks like a whip; with the muh coming in just to show you its cool enough not to care. And everything about this place is cool and preten-tious like an LA hipster who just sold a screenplay. LAC-muh.

you walk in the doors to the normal exhibits, which they sell you like you’re getting bleacher seats at a ballgame, but in reality like art history’s blackbox.(continued on page 77)

Picassos and Pollacks and Postmod-erns.

oh. My.

We looked at the art, and she would lean in to catch every detail. She loved seeing what the artist painted on, what they painted with. I loved watching her love it.

We stop and drink in whatever the artist was offering. We’d say what we thought, if we liked it or not. How it made us feel or what we thought it meant; how it related to us or god or the universe. She loved it. She was so thankful our plans went sour.

I’d offered her my arm from the outset. old school, like in a costume drama. She took it, and we walked around, oblong and awkward like a couple on a bike built for two for the first time.

The problem is, we didn’t traverse well, elbows locked. I imagined that being a camp game, where you tie one kid to another, spin them around, and make them run and get dizzy. I hated those games. So, far too early into the night, and probably far too early into the rela-tionship, I said, “whatever” and reached down and grabbed her hand.

When I reported this later, moments before sleep, I mentioned it like it was no big deal to a few names in my phone. I was met with large, capitol letters of excitement, in train with doz-ens of exclamation points and emoji.

I’m glad they could put into emoji how I felt. I felt surprised at first. Like I’d gotten summarily fresh with her. But she didn’t resist, and it kinda felt right. Warm, and small in mine. We walked around for the rest of the night, with much greater ease and mobility — rarely letting go. It probably looked normal, like two people in a museum, but I felt a bit like I was floating. Like I was Fred and she was ginger; except a bit more etherial and drawn out. one of the guards told us they were closing, then called us a “cute couple,” which also felt premature, but I hoped didn’t sound unfitting to her in a long-term sense.

We walked out, got into my car, and immediately I got a speeding ticket. only to accidentally leave my lights on and have my car battery die while the cop drove away.

yep.

She held my hand through the whole thing: Cops. Lack of proof of insur-ance. $250 ticket. nervous sweating. Waiting for the tow truck. She held my hand. no measuring stick. (Ahem: no. Measuring. Stick. gosh, I deserved one.)

Wow.

She told me later that was the night she realized she liked me.

At the LACMA.

kailey & connor

Theoretically, love at first sight is just that--a theory; a concept; an idea. In most cases, even, it is an expectation instigated by the playwrights of Hol-lywood, and faithfully sustained by the dreamers and the hopeless romantics that long for such a story. And though it is not necessarily a common occur-rence, when it does happen it has the ability to turn an everyday moment into a cinematic scene; an everyday errand into a romantic tradition; an everyday encounter into a celebrated anniversary.

But, by virtue of being a matter of opinion, it receives plenty of opposi-tion. It seems there is a cynic for every believer; for every one person who em-braces the idea and desperately longs for their opportunity, there are others who refuse to accept the existence of such unrealistic beginnings. To them it is nothing more than a myth. But even they, the most skeptic and doubtful, will fall short in fully denying love at first sight once it’s lived, and all too of-ten it is they who experience the magic outside the movie screen.

And in the case of Conner and Kailey, it happened to end in happily ever after.

neither of them were looking for love. In fact, both had their reasons to believe love was nothing more than a fairytale fit for the naive and simple-minded. She had found relationships disappointing; he had never found someone who held his interest; both had ventured off to college in hopes of losing themselves in the independence and new beginnings of small town life.

essay by jessica sonderegger

real wedding

It took only one night, however, one brief introduction and all was lost. It was but one moment that revised and refined their best made plans, goals and aspirations and it was from then on that they themselves would recognize and testify of the magical and instanta-neous influences of love.

There is a breath of love in the air, it kisses my ear like a song...

He was simply visiting his sister, she was checking in on an old friend--neither one knew the other would be around. They crossed paths for less than ten minutes, but both were stricken--she with clumsiness and him with rosy cheeks and boyish grins.

Call it fate, call it divine intervention, call it happenstance; call it love at first sight.

And they do, and they did. And they eventually found reasons to meet, other than through their mutual acquain-tance. They quickly discovered that their common interests were plentiful, and would easily and comfortably fuel their budding friendship; their shared appreciation of cheap hamburgers would provide hours of good conversa-tion, and their shared love of music would soon act as the soundtrack to their unavoidable love affair. By the conclusion of their first date there was playful talk of their united future. And it only took a little over a year to act on that conversation with a commitment of forever.

And it blows its fingers all through my hair, it shows me where I want to belong.

r a spberry m acaroon sliceserves 4-6

ingredients: base1 Stick (4 oz.) softened butter1/2 cup sugar2 large egg yolks1 tsp vanilla essence1 cup self-raising flour1 cup standard (plain) flour

ingredients: filling3/4 cup good-quality raspberry jam

ingredients: topping2 large egg whites1 tsp vanilla essence1/2 cup sugar3/4 cup desiccated coconut

directionsHeat oven to 325 degrees, with the rack just below the middle of the oven.

Line the sides and bottom of a pan about 7x11in with baking paper, allowing enough extra paper on the sides for lifting the cooked slice out

For the base, put the softened butter and sugar in a mixer and cream. Separate two eggs, add-ing the yolks to this mixture (and reserve the whites in a clean medium-sized bowl to use for the topping).

Add the vanilla essence, mix the egg yolks with the softened creamed butter and sugar, then add the two flours and mix again until evenly crumbly. Tip crumbly mixture into prepared pan and press down evenly.

Bake for 15 minutes then remove from oven.

Meanwhile, beat the egg whites and vanilla until frothy, then add the sugar and beat until the tips of peaks turn over when the beater is lifted from them. Then fold the coconut evenly through the meringue.

Spread the jam over the warm shortcake. Drop the meringue in spoonfuls on top, then spread evenly with a knife.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees or until the meringue feels crisp and is evenly and lightly colored. Cool completely before lifting out slice with the aid of the parchment paper. Then cut into slices.

There is nothing morerare, nor more beautiful,

than a woman beingunapologetically herself;

comfortable in herperfect imperfection. To

me, that is the trueessence of beauty.
