Book Lovers Tie the Knot in a Charming Library Ceremony
Let’s dive into a love story that could have been penned by the likes of Jane Austen, but with a modern twist that would make even Shakespeare raise an eyebrow. A Massachusetts couple, Andrew Ivey and Maricruz Osorio, have taken the concept of a literary romance to a whole new level. Their journey began in a bookstore in Houston, where Ivey popped the question using Leigh Bardugo’s 2024 historical romance novel, The Familiar. With a note that cheekily asked Maricruz to circle “yes” or “no” like they were back in high school, it was a proposal that practically begged for a plot twist.
Fast forward to their wedding day, and instead of a lavish venue, they opted for the local Watertown Free Public Library—yes, you heard that right! This beacon of knowledge doesn’t typically host private events, but the couple skillfully reserved a room, proving that love can flourish even in the quietest of places. The choice reflected their shared passion for reading, making the ceremony an enchanting homage to their relationship, which they aptly themed around kindness.
Ivey described Osorio as not just stunning but also the most empathetic person he has ever encountered, while she returned the compliment, highlighting his loving nature. If their vows were a book, you’d have to believe it would be a bestseller—one that encourages all the bookish romantics out there to keep searching for their own love stories. Osorio even offered a gem of wisdom for fellow bookworms still on the hunt for romance: “You don’t know where, you don’t know when, but you do.”
In a world filled with extravagant weddings, this couple’s choice to celebrate their union at a library is a delightful reminder that sometimes the most meaningful moments come from the simplest settings. So, grab your favorite book and settle in—who knows, you might just find your own love story waiting to unfold.
