You guys gonna get remarried in 20 years

Candy Downs's avatar

You’re gonna be a bridesmaid B.

They’re remarried already. This is what a 40 year marriage looks like. All the banter, none of the bjs.

I cannot leave here without extending this invitation your essay absolutely got me excited and I have to send this.

Hey love - Ral here 🍁I'm curating Planet Ral's first magazine themed

LOGGING OFF - a cultural moment about burnout, presence, and reclaiming life beyond screens.

Your voice immediately came to mind. I'd love for you to contribute if this resonates - it's going to be something truly special. Please DM if you can so I can send you the submission link. Much love 🤍

Candy Downs's avatar

Thank you so much for thinking of me, Ral ♥️

This literally made my day! There's such good back and forth there. There's love behind it all, and the chemistry of knowing each other so well and being truly comfortable with each other.

It's exactly my kind and style of energy and this is why we must all be friends.

And Candy you have the greatest facial expressions! ✨️

Candy Downs's avatar

Ahh Mike! Thank you 🙏🏻

I can tell you and I definitely have a similar vibe! We’re already friends ♥️

Hahah I have a face for comedy, that’s for sure!

This was waaay better than an idea I had of just have one huge bowl the size of a jacuzzi… actually, never mind.

Candy Downs's avatar

JC would be on board 🤣🤣🤣

Marlana's avatar

What got me wasn’t just the questions, but how he answered them the humor, the deflection, the lightness where heavier feelings might live. It made me wonder what’s underneath all the joking, for both of you. This reads less like a love story and more like two people who’ve learned how to coexist really well… and that’s not nothing, but it’s also not everything. The dynamic is fascinating especially how easily we mistake compatibility and tolerance for intimacy. I seriously would love to interview both of you sometime 🤣

Candy Downs's avatar

JC is forever family. Always everyone’s favorite. Including mine, sometimes 😅

Thanks for reading my lovely! 💋

Absolutely loved this. That Q&A format really captures something most couples never articulate tho - the differecne between being compatible and being right for each other. Once worked with someone whose ex became her best roomate too, same vibe.

Candy Downs's avatar

Thank you! This is so true, it’s hard sometimes because you can be so compatible with someone on so many levels but the romantic relationship just doesn’t stick.

The back-and-forth between you two reminds me of the dialgue between Goldie and Chevy in "Seems Like Old Times" (a movie my partner and I were just watching last night!).

Candy Downs's avatar

Omg I can’t believe I haven’t seen that film! I’m going to watch it today, but I already know that’s a huge compliment. Goldie is of course my idol 😍

Ral Joseph's avatar

Hahaha 😀 I actually think there’s a very strong chance. oh my God this is so romantic. I love love love this. I can’t believe I found you today candy. You have become my favorite person.

Candy Downs's avatar

Ahhh Ral! I adore you! This is the best comment 😍😘

Love the dynamic here. It seems to just work for you both.

Candy Downs's avatar

It works in our own weird way, which I guess is how all relationships work 😆

Mahmoud Owies's avatar

There's always a chance!

Also, you're spoiling us!

Candy Downs's avatar

🥰🥰🥰

Will you marry me? 😁 I grew up going to a hunting cabin that had an outhouse with two seats and I always wondered why. Then a new concert venue opened in Tampere and the women's bathroom had... will you believe... double toilet stalls 🤣 a disturbing return to my youth. Anyhoo, I would totally poop across from you while making full eye contact 😘

Candy Downs's avatar

Hahaha yes, yes I will indeed marry you!

Bear Wiseman's avatar

Yessss, time to get boobs naked and watch The Holiday with wine! @Abbey Wade can marry us too if she's into it 😘

Candy Downs's avatar

My dream life! Yes she will also be marrying us.

Abbey Wade's avatar

Duh. Of course I’m down @Bear Wiseman
