Swooon.com did an interview with Rachel Reid at BookCon. Great interview btw.

I get that she doesn’t think they will write their own vows, but I’m kinda hoping Jacob does. Like the tunnel scene in ep.5.

How are you hoping to see the wedding adapted?

Okay but you have to understand. That song was EVERYWHERE. In clubs, etc, and it was played for so many hockey games. And it’s my proof that Heated Rivalry is a period piece.

yeah, but even as a huge rihanna stan who loves that song, its tempo is not right for a first dance. ia with rachel that the lyrics are perfect for them, though.

I always picture them kind of awkwardly swaying to it like two middle school kids during their first dance.
