About Mrs. Zebra

I know, I know. Who wants to look at pictures of strangers? Well, I never know where you fine bees will find inspiration. Also, I think Zeb is one fine mother trucker. He totally deserves this post! (Right TheFutureMcBride? :) )

Boys have it so stinking easy on the wedding day. They roll out of bed after the girls have been up for four hours, shower, dab a little cologne, stick themselves into tuxedos (which of course they haven’t unzipped from the bag since they received it) and ponder how to properly fasten a boutonniere. Actually, our boys had to get up pretty early in the morning because they all went for hot shaves at a local barber shop. Still, they’ve got it easy!

While Sara Zarrella was busy snapping away at my parents’ house, our second shooter Lauren raced three miles down the road to Zeb’s parents’ house to capture the boys. Zeb took the morning to contemplate his momentous luck in landing himself such a wonderful bride. You can totally see how serious he is about getting married in the following pictures.

Jokes! Zeb is even less serious about life than I am. He spent the morning goofing off with his favorite friends and family. A bunch of jokesters they are!

I have to admit, I wasn’t too excited about the cigar part of the morning. Our first kiss was a little cigar-flavored. Zeb still maintains that he didn’t smoke one that morning but ummmm any jury would find him guilt with this evidence.

Shenanigans! I believe that Dr. McGuilicuddy’s lies within that flask. He’s the same Doctor who showed up at my bachelorette party.

*Later in our reception pictures you will see people holding a little sign that has something that looks like a blue moose on it. Our friends play a little game we like to call Blue Moose. If you are caught drinking out of your dominant hand, someone will yell BLUE MOOSE! Upon being caught in said Blue Moose, you must finish the remainder of your drink. Once you play, you are in it for life and weddings have always been a favorite time to play. No one’s ever gotten Zeb because he’s left handed but bats right. In other words, he cheats. To lessen the amount of people screaming Blue Moose across the reception I made the signs for our friends. I believe this here is the first Blue Moose of the day, (a rare double Blue Moose) complete with antlers.

The boys finished up their pictures at the church with Sara Zarella just in time for our limo to arrive.

I’m always so jealous at how much fun the guys seem to have before the wedding and still manage to look damn good at the end of the day. :)

Oh, what fun it must be to hang around with friends, drinking and smoking cigars the day of your wedding! I’m convinced that’s a great solution for pre-empting any nerves… not that Zeb looks one bit nervous - just excited.

@Miss Honey: Not uh! I know people normally call it by a different name but I’ve never heard someone else play it by the same name. So cool.

@Miss Sparkler: Come to think of it, the whole planning of the wedding must be reallllllly stressful for them too. Ha.
