What to change first
- The initials and names.
- The questions and answers. Duplicate a question group to add one.
The signature moment
Two accounts of the same moment, side by side under one question
Each question is a centred heading over a two-cell grid, the first voice's answer on the left and the second's on the right, so the reader compares them line by line and the small disagreements are the joke. The voices are headed by a monogram, an initial in a circle drawn with a plain colour core/cover, never a photograph of a face. On a phone the answers stack, and each keeps its name label so the voices stay clear.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives
Overview
A couple's "how we met", told by both of them. Two monogram circles head two columns, one for each voice, and three questions run across the full width, each answered once by each partner side by side. It sits in the editorial section beside testimonial-stagger (two voices offset, no shared question), team-studio-partners (partners paired with their own words, no question rows) and faq-dialogue (question and answer marks, one answer): none sets two answers to the same question.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
What it inherits from your theme
- Typeface. The base states no font family.
- Palette. Your
baseground withcontrasttype; the monograms are circles of yourcontrastcolour withbaseinitials, which the circle guarantees. Labels are on the label role, falling through tocontrast. The hairlines between questions arecurrentColor.
What it decides for itself
- The heading. The
xx-largerung; the questionsx-large, the nameslarge: hierarchy, so all on the ladder. - The answers' measure. Each answer is held to 34rem, well under 75 characters a line.
- The grid.
minimumColumnWidth: 22rem, so two across from a tablet up (never three) and one on a phone.

Questions
Story two voices: common questions
Does Story two voices need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (cover, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Story two voices match my theme?
Choose by variation. Two voices takes your theme’s palette; Vow brings its own colours.
How many variations does Story two voices have?
2: Two voices and Vow. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library.
Is Story two voices free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
