Mrs. Socks's Picture
Mrs. Socks, Southern NJ/Philadelphia, PA Age and Occupation: 23, Web Developer/Marketing Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Systems Engineer Engagement Date: September 7, 2009 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: Ladder 15 Restaurant About Me: I am originally from the Midwest, but I love being an East Coast transplant! Mr. Socks and I are foodies and winos to the core---give us a hunk of cheese, some charcuterie and a glass of wine and we could die happy. We have two mischievous Wire Fox Terriers with completely opposite personalities but with a shared love of uprooting anything in our garden. Our backyard garden includes everything from tomatoes and peppers to a fig tree, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries! I love cooking, indie music, and spending time in our wedding city of choice---Philly!
About Mrs. Socks

It feels weird to have a post exclusively dedicated to photos of me, but there are quite a few portraits of me, so I suppose they have to be documented (insert exasperated fake sigh here).

I’ll keep it short.

Looking at these photos do make me glad that I ended up with a bouquet of flowers. After all of the flower drama, I was serious about not even carrying a bouquet at all. I’m so glad that everything worked out, though!

And as a side note—these roses were HIGHLY fragrant! I was blown away by how good they smelled, and every time I drink a rich, floral Gewurtztraminer wine, I’m reminded of my wedding day flowers!

This photo seems to make the bottom of my dress look much bigger than it felt while I was wearing it! And do you see the red and green ranunculus flowers on the side tables? I guess they had a purpose even though they were supposed to be orange and in my bouquet!

I felt kind of awkward standing here while Georgi was sprawled out on the floor, but I think it’s a cool angle! And I guess the steamer didn’t get all the wrinkles out of my dress, but oh well!

I like this photo because it seems like a genuine smile from me instead of a lot of the other “I feel a bit awkward but I’m gonna smile because I have to” smiles.

And the lighting is just gorgeous in this shot.

Okay, so that’s enough out of me about me! Do you feel a little weird looking at so many photos of yourself as a bride? Don’t get me wrong, I’m so happy I have these pictures, but a little part of me is embarrassed that these photos are so me-centric!

You look soo lovely in this photos!

I think every bride needs a few special pics that are just about her and show her beauty.

I know I still love seeing pics of my mother on her wedding day.

I’ve gotten used to looking at “me-centric” photos of myself because I do a fair amount of theatre and need to have headshots on hand whenever I audition for something. It used to feel self-indulgent having all these glamorous shots of myself lying around, but I’ve realized that when I’m older I am going to LOVE having these photos so I can go all old-lady-from-Titanic on my grandkids and say, “Wasn’t I a dish?”

So I’ll admit, I can’t wait to have loads of photos taken of me in my gorgeous dress…

You look absolutely beautiful!! Also, I love the tidbit about your flowers smelling so wonderful, and the occasional reminder when enjoying your wine - what an awesome memory trigger!
