.....hello.....
Welcome to the :e: picture journal. Within these walls you'll find a mix of commissioned and personal work so feel free to subscribe or to just swing by whenever you're seeking... [hint: click on a big image and then use the L and R arrows on your keyboard to navigate through the rest]
So in the words of one of my favorite man crushes [yes, that's plural], Kai Ryssdall, "Let's do the numbers." [start: We're in the Money, jazz trio/piano melody, med swing]
- couple's wedding night was their first time. Yay! It's awesome, right?
- of this year's grooms had lovely English accents. Wot, wot. Jolly good, old man.
- of my 2011 couples saw each other before the ceremony. I love that this number is so low!
- grooms were younger than their bride. Damn cougars.
- Number of my 2011 couples that didn't live together before they were married. 'Honey, is this soap or deodorant or toothpaste? All your stuff looks the same...'
- brides walked down the aisle with their bouquet but up the aisle without it. Flowers. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
- drunk bridesmaids tried to make out with me. Take a number, ladies. yeesh.
- is how many minutes my shortest ceremony was this year. Do you? Yes! Do you? Yes! Good! You're married. Kiss her.
- handmade chuppot this year. Mazel Tov! May you have many babies. Or something.
- receptions that played Lady Gaga and Don't Stop Believing BACK TO BACK. I'm hoping this number shrinks to 0 next year. Better yet, -10 so I get some redemption from the punishment I suffered.
- rainy wedding days this year. Call me awesome, but I love rain. Rain is only liquid sunshine. The wetter the better. That's what sh.... never mind. This is a family friendly blog.
So now, without further ado, I humbly and most graciously present to you...
Be Joyful. Seek the joy of being alive.
