Wedding Pictures (Finally)


So here's a random post for you: in honor of our second wedding anniversary (a.k.a., the Fluevog Anniversary, on which both Expat and Sparky bought fabulous shoes they did not need because they were on sale at the Fluevog store in Chicago), Expat and I finally had actual, honest-to-god, sit-down-with-a-photographer, shots-to-send-to-relatives "wedding" pictures made by none other than Big (of Big and Little fame). We did this in June/July shortly before the Great Migration and I am just now getting around to sharing them.


The veil actually belongs to Little. Being that Expat and I trooped down to the local courthouse with representatives of the Matic and Seven Red clans in tow, I didn't actually have a veil of my own. Big said he wanted to "try something" and I long ago learned to trust him when he gets that maniacal look in his eye . . . Sepia-toned veil kisses: cheesy? Perhaps. Fun? Totally.


As for the shirts, Topspun and the Better Half of the Fashionable New Yorkers (turned Chicago . . . ans? Chicagoites? What do you call people from Chicago? Chitownies?) decided that Schmozer was a suitable smooshing together of last names for a girl who didn't want to change hers and a guy who didn't care. Here at Scooter Nation, Team Schmozer rules. The shirts were a Valentine's present to Expat (note who's number 1; consider who let him be number 1).

So think of this post not as narcissistic pandering to the collective ego of we here at Scooter Nation. Think of it as an omage to Big's amazing ability to capture an honest smile by making grown people do silly things.

I would just LOVE to know what Expat was telling you to get you laughing in the #2 Schmozer photo.

WONDERFUL lighting. It's all natural, yes? Absolutely lovely photos, and so powerful.

I suppose my 3.2 meg pics framed by the Mayor's file cabinets were not romantic enough, eh? Fine. As punishment for this outrage, tell Expat that I'm forwarding the hands supporting chins pic to jxn8!

Cheers, Team Schmozer. They look great.

For the record, Topspun, your 3.2 meg pics in the park in the rain were way more romantic. Nothing says romance to me like the mayor's office.

Thanks for thinking we're cute, gang. Expat will be touched. ;)

Actual writing coming soon to a Scooter Nation near you.

Okay, I know it's been longer for me than you, but thanks for posting. These are gorgeous and also hideously, nauseatingly adorable, just like you two.
