This was Diana's daughter's (Rebekah) inquiry on my wedding contact form: 'Hey Erin — Due to recent events, my mom and her partner of 26 years are getting married! I know it's super last minute, but they're hoping to make it official before laws have a chance to be changed. So, my first question is: are you supportive of same sex marriage? If you are, are you available on January 6th? It's going to be a very small ceremony — maybe 20 people total. If your answer to either question is no, do you know anyone who would say yes? Thanks for taking the time to answer! Hope you're having a great weekend.



I was so happy that Rebekah had emailed me, but at the same time I was a little sad. Why? First, she had to make sure that someone would want to photograph her mom's wedding with her partner of 26 years (26 years!). Second, the reason for them finally deciding to tie the knot was our changing political climate in our country. I immediately responded with a yes! Of course I would. How could anyone say no to this?



I don't know if Diana and Sue are "game changers" but I believe that they have beaten the game. They have overcome so much in regards to their lifestyle and their relationship, and in a world where people say "no" they said "yes."
