Marika Hufford-Zaslow and Saxton Pope were married on May 24, 2008 in Rye, NY.
Marika has a Master's in Social Work from NYU and is currently starting her second Master's degree in Child Life, working with terminally ill children and their families. Child Life specialists "provide play therapy for children in long-term care in clinincs and hospitals and guide them through medical procedures." Saxton manages a restaurant in the West Village in NYC but is planning to go back to school and get his master's in English to pursue his goal of teaching high school students. The pair met in 2002 when they were both Resident Advisors at Sarah Lawrence College. As Marika tells it, "We became fast friends and we've been together ever since!"
When it came time to get married, it was important to Marika and Saxton to include as many local elements as possible.
