Open Season


It only seemed right that Damian and I would celebrate one year of wedded bliss in Queens ... where we attended Day 2 of the U.S. Open. We got quite an eyeful around the grounds, so much so that we never made it to our actual seats in Arthur Ashe Arena. Feast your eyes on it all -- including our future throuple partner -- BELOW.
