When you get married it all has to be perfect. Every detail managed to within an inch of its life and all the minutiae checked, and checked again. It really seems to matter if every hue matches every other one well or coordinates in an appealing way. Having it all go without a hitch seems so important. At #champagne25 we had the benefit of the wisdom of experience as well as knowing that it was our immediate family and closest friends – a small group who had seen us at our best and our worst over the last quarter century. There is freedom in that. And, of course, we were already married so the conclusion was foregone. So for our final post on this milestone event I give you the candid faces of romance and a few just plain fun ones:
The Walk Down the Aisle was pretty relaxed:
G was grinning during his vows, daring that he would forget or change them:
Formal Photo Poses:
DIP!
You Want Us To Pose How?
WHAAT?
DAAAAD!
Be Serious Dad…
Are You Biting My Face?
Ok Kids, Just One More (ya, right!):
There was some DO NOT, and #dumbass going on (for our twitter pals you will get this):
SMARTEN UP!
DO NOT!
But, in the end, it was the real deal:
And that concludes all posting about our 25th anniversary vow reaffirmation. Thanks for tuning in.
