The wedding is only 50 days away so the crunch is beginning to be felt by Megan and myself. We have needed to move fast like a Peregrine falcon dive bombing for a swallow. So we have had to cut out various time wasting measures in the wedding preparation.
One such measure is the many sittings and attempts at getting that perfect wedding invitation picture. Because we could not afford to pay for a photography we gave a camera to an old lady that was feeding the magpies in the park. We then asked Mildred, that was the elderly lady's name, to close her eyes and count to ten. What was the purpose for that? Well quite simple really. We wanted a candid photo of us so we decided that picture taking hid-and-go-seek would be the best way to get the candid, happy, fun, look we were hoping for.
We hid and Mildred found us with this priceless pic. She even impressed us with getting the ring in the photo.
So look for this colorful picture in the mail or hand delivered because it is Canada Post we are dealing with. They say it will get there from anywhere between three to forty seven days. Those are working days as well.
Just as a side note if anyone knows of a Mildred who feeds the magpies on Wednesdays please let us know. We did not get here address, she would not give it to us. We want to send her an invitation. Thanks.
Jeff-- You have a blog! Hoorah! Now we don't have to wait until you randomly take over mom and dads and change the name and stuff. We are excited to hear all of your ramblings, which are quite funny actually. And happy engagement!
ReplyDeletePS--Do I get some sort of prize for being the first one to comment on your blog? Like a kazoo or a nose-flute, so I can play at your wedding.
Hey congrats on your blog,
ReplyDeleteMay you be a better blogger than I am!! By the way, did I ever send you the pictures I took of the Great Engagement Event? (Or were the pictures on your blog the pictures I took - I can't remember, residency is giving me Alzheimer's). Hope to see you soon.
Love Jo
