Lena Dunham’s Story of Finding Her Happily Ever After Had Us All in Tears This Week, and Reminded Us of the Transformative Power of Love

At The Sunday Paper, we love a good love story—so when we read Lena Dunham’s recent piece in Vogue about meeting and marrying Peruvian-British musician Luis Felber, we were hooked from the start. The 35-year-old actor, writer, and filmmaker best known for her HBO series Girls wrote about her “tears coming unbidden” as she walked down the aisle for their September nuptials. “I was crying because it was overwhelming. I was crying because he looked so beautiful and he was gazing at me with such awe. (I’m not sure I’d ever really been gazed at before.) But really I was crying for all the pain I was leaving behind, and because of how easy it was to come home.”     

As we read Dunham’s love story, we found ourselves reaching for the tissues as well—happy for her and hopeful for all of us who are looking for love this year. To read Lena Dunham’s love story in her own words, don’t miss her piece in Vogue.
