While Mr. Lovebug and I were posing for some fountain-side photos during cocktail hour, I suddenly remembered this adorable photo of the newly wed Mr. and Mrs. Onion:
(photo by Daria Bishop Photography)
Ridiculously sweet, right? You can almost hear the little *click!* of her heels neatly hitting the pavement. But the best part is Mr. Onion’s “and down you go, little lady!” expression.
With this shot in mind, I hopped onto the fountain next to where we stood. I instructed Mr. LB to “lift me down, cute-like” (well, I don’t know for sure what I said - but I can totally see myself saying that), and Chris snapped the picture.
People, what possessed me to think that my fountain hop would be anywhere NEAR as cute as that of a woman who has fingers the size of hors d’oeuvres, I really don’t know. But at least I have these lovely shots of Mr. LB struggling not to get flattened by me instead:
I only wish you could hear the guttural “whoa now!” grunts that went along with them. Really made me feel like quite the Tinkerbell.
Oh, and the utterly scary/bizarre shape of my boob in that last shot is just an added bonus for your Monday. Enjoy.
Seriously now, I think we’re going to need disclaimers at the top of your posts! These are NSFW with all my snorting and shoulder-shuffles to keep from laughing out loud!
giggling up a storm right now 
I SO appreciate your willingness to post these hilarious photos.
Ha– I love it! Mr. Jasmine and I took photos on a fountain too and I *struggled* to get down because of the heaviness of my outfit and Mr. Jasmine’s general inability to lift me down gracefully. It was like he was heaving bricks. If there are pictures of that, I will have to post them, because I think Mr. J made a similar face
hahahaa lovebug, you are too hilarious! this is so adorable in its own right hahhaaaa
OMG “utterly scary/bizarre shape of my boob” just made me laugh out loud… LOUDLY. thanks for making my day!
In the last picture maybe he just realized what the shape of your boob really is…yeah, that would explain it…..
that’s just too funny. totally made my monday!
Well, I’m a very muscular/curvy girl & 5′10″, so I might hurt my FH, that weighs at least 20 lbs less than me if he had to lift me! (I try not to remember the exact weight difference!)
I’ll have to get creative to do CUTESY poses, but maybe just lots of leaning our heads/foreheads together since we are the same height!?
Priceless
I love it. Thank you for a Monday giggle!
I’m laughing so hard. I wish you two lived in our town!
I think this is the first time i’ve ever laughed out loud at a wedding bee post…and I’ve been reading since 06!
haha! i love it! i love what a wonderful sense of humor you have about yourself mrs. lovebug.
if you check out our super 8 footage from wes jones in my post “Super-8mm Wedding Video” http://tinyurl.com/3859r9
and fast forward to 9:07 (9 min, 7 sec) you’ll see this in action!
That picture is priceless! Now I must find a fountain in Cancun to re-inact this too!
thanks for the monday giggle mrs. lb! that look on the mr’s face is priceless!
I think your posts are inspiring a new contest: the ugly/inappropriate work laugh! About 3 people just turned around and stared at me wondering why the “spreadsheet” open on my desktop caused my mouth to get all twisted, my eyes to watering, and my entire body to convulsing.
You are hilarious! It is so much fun to read your re-cap!
Ha! I love that you show the unedited pics as well as the ‘wow, that should be in a magazine’ ones. You know why? Because it shows you’re real people. Real people who pull faces and have occasional freaky boobage and laugh until milk comes out of their nose. And when real people are as happy and in love as you two, it doesn’t matter
p.s. if it makes you feel any better, I’m sure the strain on Mr Lovebug’s face was due to the weight of the dress, not you. And I’m sure the sight of you made him weak in the knees
hahahahahaha thank you
oh man..YOU ARE THE BEST!! KEEP THEM COMING!!! it doesn’t have to be said- your wedding (and you) are/were completely gorgeous!!! but this stuff…makes your wedding so real!
I propose a dare…everyone pick their worst wedding photo to frame on their desk for the first week back to work! Act like you think it is good, lol.
Oh sweet Jesus … thank you, I needed that today. You make me laugh!
i have tears rolling down my face, that made my day.
I was having a crap-tastic day…until I saw this post! Thank you for sharing…I’m still giggling!
SNORT! Hilarious…I love your commentary.
LOL!
omg.. you really need to start posting warnings for this kind of thing.. i just took a sip of water before i scrolled down and about choked to death! that is the most hilarious thing ever! love it!
Ha! I don’t know where I’d be without your posts!
I actually bust out laughing at this picture, at work! The girl in the cubicle across from mine AND the guy next to her just popped their heads out and asked what I was laughing about. Good thing my boss wasn’t walking by!
Oh Mrs. Lovebug! You crack me up! I was actually CRYING trying to hold in my laughter at work!
I love your posts!
Ha, takes me back to our engagement pics — our photographer is 5-foot-nothing, and I think that influenced her many directions for Mr T to swing me around or lift me in the air or whatever…. Meanwhile I’m 5′10″ and not exactly petite, so there were lots of strained faces in our pics as well!
(More accurately … Me: WHEEEE! Mr T.: AAAARGH!)
you actually look petite in pictures so when i met you and you were pretty tall, i was surprised!
that is one awesome expression from mr lb!
Haha… awesome!
haha so funny! i love your posts
Sounds like a lot of us were having crappy Mondays … until you posted this. Thanks for heaving me up from the doldrums to fight back the laughter. You are awesome.
I needed that! Thanks for always adding some humor!
When you’re not making me cry sentimental tears, you’re making me cry tears of laughter. Thanks for sharing ALL the details of your wedding, not just the perfect ones!
Oh, you should frame this close up of his face with your ugly cry face! Perhaps Christmas Cards? Thank you notes…the list goes on!
SERIOUSLY! I am at work trying to read this and I almost laughed outloud, good thing my everyone is at lunch! Keep the hilariousness coming. Your recaps are quickly becoming the most funny {and fabulous} ever! I don’t want your wedding recaps to be over!
Oh, my. You had me sitting here at my desk trying not to cry from laughing so hard, so that my boss won’t think I’m insane. This is too funny!
(and this would totally be me too, by the way)
Love it!
hahahahahahha!!! That is just hilarious… I love it. The look on his face is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS.
hahaha… i’m yet another person at work trying to completely hold in my laughter. sooo funny!!! =) I love it!!
So if I’m keeping count right, this is about the fifth time I’ve seen those Linda Hamilton arms. What gives? We know you run, or just happen to keep a running partner who does “something blues” on friendship staff. Are you a part time yoga instructor? Do you practice super hero martial arts on the criminal element in Tuscon? Did you add your own contour muscle to your arms with a makeup kit? What is the secret to this lean hard look? Give it up. 
You are itty bitty, Mrs. Lovebug. If my boy tried to lift me, I think we’d both end up in a messy heap. :p
Mr. LB: “I gotta Whole Lotta Love… Bug” *
And now he knows he’d better toe the line or you will shoot him with your alien boob laser!

Hysterical! I’m totally laughing out loud. Love his facial expression, and oblong boobie! You crack me up!
i literally almost choked on the huge gulp of water i drank. hahahaha what a great shot. hahahaha
Again I’m laughing out loud @ work and ppl are wondering why my spreadsheet is so funny.
Girl, you are one funny Bee. Love it!
Priceless expression to bring warm smiles (and smirks) for years to come. Thanks for sharing.
That is totally the type of thing I would do … And totally the result I would end up with!
Thanks for giving me a laugh!
I wasn’t quick enough on my feet when I laughed out loud while I was talking on the phone….I accidentally hung up on them. Luckily, I can blame it on poor cell phone service. Phew. You are so funny.
Hilarious. I could just picture the Boy’s face if we tried this… It would look far more pained than yours, that’s for sure!
you are my fave!!!
i love that you remember and noticed the smallest details of your wedding. Ive been reading ur blog and I really can’t get enough of your pics and your posts.
Keep em coming!
I love it! (So happy I´m alone in the office right now…)
I seriously just hooted. YOU MAKE ME HOOT. Why do we call people a hoot if they’re funny?
HAHAHAH that is hilarious. You two make the cutest faces!
lmaoo! how good natured and funny!!
I am DYING laughing!!! Thank you for sharing these pictures… OMG, I cannot stop. <3
[...] do their hair themselves or just forgo any form of updo and wear it down? A few bees (most recently Mrs. Lovebug and Mrs. Penguin) have gone that route and I think it turned out lovely! [...]
You’ve just made me snort. Those photos are gold.
