Anna and Mason

mwa102884_fal07_couple01.jpg

Three years before Mason popped the question, he told his father he was interested in Anna, a longtime family friend. When his father relayed the news to Anna, a photographer in New York, she was intrigued but concerned that Mason was nine years younger. His dad said, "I thought you were smarter than that -- you know love has nothing to do with age!" she recalls.
