Mrs. Paisley's Picture
Mrs. Paisley, Orange County, CA Age and Occupation: 25, Journalist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Spanish Professor Engagement Date: September 2008 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Family Lake House About Me: From my earliest days I attracted attention, as much for my intelligence as for beauty. I display an originality, a perspicacity, a certain je ne sais quoi that sets me apart. I posses a mysterious authority which compels people to do my bidding. I am a regal blonde with classic features and the daintiness of Dresden porcelain. I am poised, soft-spoken, and well educated... Okay, now that enough eyebrows have sufficiently shot through the roof, everybody can relax---I kid! I'm just a sarcastic NorCal-turned-SoCal girl who loves outdoor activities, books, letterpress printing and of course, Professor Paisley.
About Mrs. Paisley

It’s official, the Paisleys’ have received their very first wedding present, in gorgeous gold wrapping paper, courtesy of Mother-in-Law Paisley. Thank you to MIL P! It was really fun and exciting!

Mr. Paisley was a silly Paisley-locks whilst opening this beautiful gift.

First, he came bearing the present with glee on his face.

He gave it a lil’ shake, trying to tell what was inside.

Dismantled the bow, and decided to wear it on his head.

Whipped out his trusty pocket knife.

Carefully removed the tape, so as to preserve the pretty wrapping paper, as is tradition in the thrifty Paisley household.

Unwrapping ensued.

Then, I dropped to the floor exhausted from belly laughs at all of Professor Paisley’s silly faces and equally silly antics. He caught my laughter-tears on film:

It’s a pottery colander and pair of gorgeously-oversized salt and pepper shakers, perfect for salad-making! We needed one of these, and it’s extra special because it belonged to Mr. P’s beloved grandma.

Lol, I think that picture of him with the mug and the one crossed eye is my fav. picture of all time! He’s mastered the art of crossing one eye while the other looks straight on.

Ha, those pictures are great! My FI is also notorous for “shaking boxes” and he guesses right every, single, time… He also brought out the handy pocket knife each time a gift arrived at our house.. to which I responded the same way every time “be careful not to cut too deep!” Ha.
