Monumental Love

What started as a simple, no-pressure date with a swipe on Tinder quickly blossomed into something extraordinary for Alex and Houston. A casual meeting turned into day trips, weekend
sleepovers and eventually a big move to the Nation’s Capital. Along the way, they discovered that what they had wasn’t just
chemistry — it was forever.

Love Story: The Most Iconic Micro Wedding of Its Time 🩷

John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette were the ultimate "it" couple of the '90s, turning heads and stealing the spotlight. Even decades later, we're all still drooling over them and @lovestoryfx is fanning those flames.

Their wedding wasn't some over-the-top, camera-hungry affair. Nope, it was a cozy little shindig with just their nearest and dearest. This chic yet contemporary ceremony still has couples swooning for that perfect micro wedding vibe, even thirty years down the line.

This nostalgic love story biopic has us begging for more and that fabulous soundtrack is just the cherry on top!

There’s nothing better than unfiltered love…

…Especially that heart-stopping moment when they see each other for the first time before the vows.
