I Don't Really Have a Title. But They're Wedding Photos. Or Pre-Wedding Photos. Or Engagement Pictures Even.

My friend Beth noticed in my joke from last post that I would be kind of hungry if I only ate things that start with E on Thursdays. Luckily Arizaphale and DJ Kirkby thought up plenty of E-food, but really that wasn't the point. The point was WHOLESOMENESS! The-Guy helped me choose letter E like this:
Me - What letter do you think is the MOST wholesome?
Him - Most wholesome?
Me - Yeah! A nice wholesome letter.
(no answer)
Me - You know? Like one nobody associates with any swear word?
Him - A! Oh. No...wait...
(several moments later)
Him - E.
That's what he goes through just to hang around with me and take pre-wedding photos. Jeff actually called them engagement pictures, which sounds better, although I think both are accurate descriptions.

First some in my decoy wedding dress. Because, you know, The-Guy isn't supposed to see me in my real wedding dress.

I searched and searched for a decoy dress that looked weddingy, but I didn't find one. Luckily a teacher across the hall from me had given me her daughter's old prom dress. So I just wore that:The-Guy - "Look at the definition in your arm on this one."
Me - "That's definition? Oh good! I just thought my arm was lumpy."Please don't worry about correcting him. "Definition" sounds way better than "lumpiness".More casual ones:


Woo-hoo! The wedding is over! We're all jumpy and happy!Wait! The wedding's not over?!?!? Drat. That's okay. We're still jumpy and happy. Or exhausted from picking out tacos. One or the other.

    Thanks AFM & People!!!!

    Beth - But isn't that Avenue Q show supposed to be less than wholesome? And yes, I'm always happy and jumpy, unless I'm napping on your couch. :-)

    Disa,
    We jumped maybe three or four times? Probably not enough to give my legs any real definition. They'll just have to be lumpy. :-)

    These pics are really cute. I wish that 15 years ago taking fun engagemnet pics was the thing to do! *pout* It's like babies. When yours are all big and boring, all the cool things for new babies get invented and you can't have them. Sucks. ;)

    Curly Glamor Girly - I really like that one too!

    Heidi - Yeah, I know! There are so many easier things out there for babies now! And plus, half the toys my daughter played with, they've now decided are poison and don't allow those chemicals in toys anymore.

    Thanks Tracy. :-) :-) :-)
