Tim & Tom’s Intimate Artisan Works WeddingSeptember 25th, 2011

Another Artisan Works wedding! This time for the small and intimate wedding for Tim & Tom. Same sex marriage became legal in New York in June this year! This is a wonderful step in the right direction, as NY is now the most populous state to legally wed gay couples.
