ANNOUNCING MR. & MR.

Yeah!!! Congrats to Jack and Tony on their union surrounded by close friends and family. Was great. I met Jack a few years ago... another Starbucks customer. He recommended his friend, Jared, who has his own company, Little Green Cube, to do my new website... yes, the one that linked you to this page. Then I got to meet Tony at their house-warming party. Then Jack and Tony moved to Washington (the state). And I wondered if I'd ever see them again.

And the next thing you know, he is calling me to photograph their wedding. How awesome is that!?!?!?! Now I have 4 connections in the Seattle area... looks like no hotel costs for me when I travel there, right? It was a pleasure for me to capture the special moments for them. I wish them all the happiness.

The funny thing (not ha ha funny) to me about the opposition to gay marriage is not about the differences between 'straight' and 'gay' people but rather, how people miss our similarities... how alike and not different we are... gay people want the same thing straight people want... someone to love and grow old with, build the American dream complete with the white-picketed fence and dog in the yard (1.5 children optional).

I fail to understand why that is so hard to grasp... as well as how religious and morality have been turned into something about legality when first and foremost, GAYness is all about biology.

But I digress, there's no way I couldn't include some images of this wonderful couple in love...

Me and the details; I love them... especially through the eye of my Lensbaby Original....

Does this look like a happy Grandma or what?
