Liz and Nicole

Liz and Nicole are getting married in November in front of 200 of their closest friends and family; but first there's the sweet ritual of the cake tasting. Certainly there will be more complicated decisions to be made during the course of their lives together, but few will be so rich in anticipation and butter cream. It was at Jacques Fine European Pastries in Suncook, New Hampshire that we asked the couple about the multi-layered confection that is matrimony.

Q. Why get married? Why not just live together?

A. "I don't want a roommate. I want a life partner," said Liz (left). For Nicole it's a no brainer. "You can cohabitate or you can solidify your partnership - literally sharing everything with each other for the rest of our lives."

Pembroke, N.H.

HEART BEAT BLOGGERS

What’s love got to do with it? We think everything. Who hasn't seen a statuesque beauty making out with her pocket-sized beau and wondered "Just exactly how does that work?" As a writer/photographer team with eons of experience, we've interviewed all kinds of people from drag queens to prom kings, the wealthy to the weary - the beautiful and the belligerent. We weren't afraid to ask Hillary Clinton about empty-nest syndrome or a 911 widow about her last good bye. So we’ve given ourselves a year to walk up to people and ask them all those questions about love that we’ve always wanted to ask. Truth be told – we’re nosy. We love to hear about and talk about the L word. Don’t judge. We practice what we post. We've dated, cohabited, hooked up and hitched. We've had children. We've had fights. We've buried the hatchet and we've buried a spouse. Sometimes we’ve lost our way but we never lost the faith. And we’ve asked ourselves many of the questions we plan to ask others. We believe in the power and pathos of love in all its forms and in the next 12 months we plan to capture it in images and imagery. Have a question you’d like us to ask or that you’d like to ask us? Post them in comments.
