MARRIAGE and GROWING UP

I am finally marrying my boyfriend of 6 years, a sweet, Filipino painter named Lambert. The families mutter 'it's about time' under their breath while smiling and hugging us. I never was the type of lady whose goal it was to get hitched - it wasn't something I actually ever thought about. But it seems like the right time to take on this new commitment. Lambert and I have been through a lot: 3 different apartments in Brooklyn, 5 weeks in a car traveling around the American west, countless photo shoots, and bike rides through the Bronx dressed in costume.
