A couple weekends ago I did some engagement shots for my friend Bbora and her fiancé Minh. I met Bbora donkey’s years ago, while I was still in high school. I went to an all male Catholic school which her brother was attending, and while visiting his house, met Bbora.

I remember her first words to me… after learning my name is Alex, she said something along the lines of ‘Did you know you’re named after a bloodthirsty gay warlord?’ She was so young and precious then. I was obviously charmed, since we’ve been good friends, and at one point roommates, since.
