Love is Blind

-
Over the weekend my mom's cousin and my second cousin, Tommy got married to his partner Ryan down in Rhode Island!  We drove down the day of the wedding all dolled up and ready to celebrate with everyone.

Words cannot express how happy I am for him and for Ryan that they are officially married! It's very exciting.  The ceremony was quick but very meaningful, funny and filled with tears of joy.  It was quite easy to see that Ryan and Tommy are very much in love and I was so happy to be apart of their big day.  Here are a mix of photos that I took and also my cousin Andrea's husband Sami took as well.

It was also great for the whole family to get together. Most of my mom's cousins live out of state or more than 30 minutes away so it's rare that we get to spend time together.  But last Friday was a great chance to celebrate and cut loose with some of my favourite people.

Tommy (far right) had his long time roommate be the officiate of the wedding. He was very humourous and spoke about how he and Tommy were technically already in a common law marriage because of the number of years they had lived together but he was willing to share Tommy as a husband with Ryan.

More photos are behind the cut!






I now pronounce you...HUSBANDS!

(Super official!)

In my own opinion, love has no gender, creed or race.  We should all be able to love whomever we choose and whoever is right for us, no matter what.  Gay or straight we should have the right to spend the rest of our lives with them.  Hopefully one day gay marriages will be allowed all over the country and other parts of the world.  It's a steady climb to the top but there will always be bumps in the road.

Love who you love with all of your heart

David Bowie: Fashion Icon, Rock Legend

David Bowie January 8th, 1947- January 10th, 2016 Although I'm writing this several months after his death, I still wanted to bring forward the importance of David Bowie and his contribution to music and fashion.  I do have to admit, I never was a huge  David Bowie fan,but there has been a number of songs and outfits that have inspired me over the years. In his life, Bowie produced 26 albums, did 14 world tours and appeared in 21 films and television shows. He accomplished so much during his time and his death was a huge loss in the world of rock and roll.  While all of these accomplishments are great, there have been some iconic outfits that have been worn by Bowie in the past years that made some of these moments famous and never forgotten. Life on Mars Some of Bowie's most famous suits were designed by Freddie Burretti , including the suit he wore in the music video "Life on Mars."  Not only did he design the blue suit, but a lot of oth...

How DID the Pilgrims Cook Their Turkey?

This Thanksgiving will definitely be one we will talk about for years to come. A foot of snow... Hanging trees... Broken branches... No electricity for almost 3 days..... You know, just all of the great things you like to have at Thanksgiving. I got home from the airport around 2:30pm on Wednesday afternoon and the snow was really coming down out there.  There was about 3 inches on the ground by the time we got all the way home. As the night went on, our lights kept flickering on and off for a couple of hours when eventually the lights just went completely out around 6. Luckily, my parents invested in a generator a few years ago so my dad filled up the tank with the rest of the gas we had. Our generator only runs our water, heat and a few other essentials which is just enough to get us by.  Around maybe 10:30-11pm the power came back on and it looked like we were in luck! Although when I woke up the next morning......power was out and we had abou...

Artist Thursdays: Yamil Flores

This week's (late) Artist Thursday feature is all about the all talented Yamil Flores . Yamil wasn't always a photographer but about 5 years ago he bought his first camera and started doing street photography in New York City. Since then, he has been able to develop his own style and has taken on doing portrait photography in a new and exciting (natural) light. Flores is able to capture the true beauty and essence of those in front of his lens. Back towards the end of this past November, one of the girls at my office approached me about possibly doing a photoshoot with Yamil as he is a good friend of hers and they had taken photos together in the past.  I never really had anyone take my photo before other than a friend taking an outfit photo for this blog or that time I awkwardly posed for my senior yearbook photos in high school.  I was very nervous before meeting and working with Flores but I felt instant relief upon meeting him for the firs...
