SOMETHING THAT ONCE FELT IMPOSSIBLE

I’ve known Mars since I was 15-We met taking a summer photography class in New York. I was  going through a preppy  phase, Mars was wearing a lot of scarfs. He said he was from Halifax and I blushed having no idea where that was. For the next 7 years we  watched each other grow, retreat, change- but everything I did was always ok with Mars- he’s always supported me even at my worst. When he asked me to take his wedding pictures I said yes immediately - but on the train home  I thought about how much we have witnessed each other- I have no other person in my life like him, someone so OK and understanding. Like a shrug of the shoulders and smile “ it’s ok if that doesn’t happen.”  Mars is important not only to me, but to everyone in our small community. Meeting Coco for the first time I felt relief-  two amazing people.  In the past when I’ve  witnessed love from the outside it’s been cumbersome- but with them it’s open arms and a hug. I love Mars -  Developing the film later I saw his face  on the contact sheets was reminded of summer photography class, how awkward and unsure of everything.  I’m so happy and proud for you -Mars and Coco 

having so many different members of our community come together & help out is honestly what made last weekend so special, I couldn’t have asked for anything more
