Wedding Blog

“Yea! Time to party! Woo, hoo!

Oh, wait, what? Pictures, right. Well, okay, we’ll take pictures. But THEN WE’RE GONNA PARTY! Right? Can someone check the schedule? Right. Okay. Good. That’s definitely right.

Here we go. Um, what? Picture list? Yes, I did one. On my laptop. Which is upstairs… ooookay then, we’ll make it up as we go. Let me think. Man, I wish we had booze down here. I need a drink.

Girls first. Smile pretty!

Okay, now the girls with the mister. I think I saw something like this on a blog once. {Note they all have the good sense to look slightly embarrassed.}

Now the guys. Look suave. (They reply: “Riiight.”)

If you can’t look suave, then look tough.

Not quite. I have an idea! I saw it in a blog (quit rolling your eyes, blogs are cool). Really, it’ll be fine. On the count of three, jump. Yes, jump. Yes, in the air.

1… 2… 3!

See? Fun! No, you’re not finished yet. No, not yet. NO, NOT YET. Let’s get the dads in here. Yes, all of you. Yes, now. YES. Thank you.

Now I want you to jump, just like the guys did before. {The dads look delighted slash ambivalent. The groomsmen are ready to go. The mister looks every bit of the ham that he is. See his dad just to the left? It’s hereditary.}

1…

2…

3!

Yay! NO, NOT FINISHED YET. Let’s get everyone together. Smile. Yea, that’s nice… but not quite right. Not… cheesy enough!

I’ve got it! Make a funny face! Now!

Yay! One more time!

It’s working! Last one! {This is my favorite. And in my opinion, much more worthy of framing than the “say cheese!” ones.}

Now all the parents.

Annnd… switch! {Ah, the things you do when your parents are divorced, just for the sake of fairness and diplomacy.}

Groom’s family next. No, my family can’t leave yet. Yes, I heard you the fifth time, so if you’re not related to either of us, you are free to go. Sorry, sibs.

Oy. These men and their posed expressions. Thanks for smiling, SIL.

And, again with the expressions…

Moving ON. My parents, please. Mom and Stepdad, you first. OH! Watch your step! {The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She laughs with her whole body. I’m pretty happy about that.}

That’s better.

And now the siblings with the parents. {To my brother: Heh, heh, I know, this is crazy, right? Oops, we’re supposed to be smiling.}

And… switch!

Okay, folks, you’re free to go. Have a drink, hang out, wander around and we’ll be ready to eat shortly.

No, honey, not you. We still have to take pictures. Because it’s our wedding. Because we want to remember this day. BECAUSE I SAID SO. Ahem, with love…? Or else I will bite you…!” {He doesn’t look terribly upset at the prospect, does he?}

Next up, the Cheeses take pictures alone. Imagine the possibilities…
