The Tea Party: Playing House

January 23rd, 2009 @ 1:26 pm by Mrs. Green Tea

1. Prelude, 2. Tea Ceremony, 3. Getting Ready, 4. The Kids, 5. Wedding Party, 6. Down the Aisle 7. Ceremony, 8. Group Shots, 9. Couple Shots, 10. Jump Shots

Before wrapping up the portrait session, da hubs suggested having our photos taken in the historic barn:

That’s when I realized I married a friggin’ genius.

He’s looking at me…

I’m looking at him…

We’re spying on them…

And they’re cheering for us! It didn’t take long before the first guest spotted us once we poked our heads through the windows. A few started clapping and the rest caught on quickly. The clapping, cheering, whistling, Arsenio-hall arm pumping (Whatcha mean you dunno Arsenio?? You ’80s born young’uns are killing me!) etc. didn’t stop until we disappeared from sight. It was a fun and unexpected surprise for everyone, including us. Several guests came up to us soon after to tell us how awesome that was, not knowing it was completely unplanned. They quickly realized after that, the fun had only just begun…

Look at me waving like a rock star just eating up the attention from my newfound fans. Good thing there were no markers around, otherwise many napkins and boobies would surely have suffered the wrath of my autograph…

Ahh… it’s good to be loved.

Whoop whoop whoop! (Arsenio style.) Too cute! And even better that it wasn’t planned!

Love it, and being a child of the 80s I totally remember Arsenio!!! I saw him on a commercial the other day and it took me back at least 15 years….

Way cute. I love how everyone was watching you. I’d be so embarrassed! Maybe not if I looked as awesome as you, though.
