Hello, friends. I just had my first bridal shower. It was lovely. There were lots of people there, lots of presents, lots of treats ... it was lots of fun. But a bride at a bridal shower is the center of attention. And as if that isn't awkward enough, she is also the subject of numerous candid photographs. Snap! Snap! Snap! Go the cameras, happily clicking and flashing, documenting her every move. It's at this point I'd like to revisit an oft-neglected feature of most digital cameras: The delete button. Use it with impunity. Please. Because otherwise, you will end up with photographs like this one:
See that? You might think it's Jabba the Hutt, but it's actually me, enjoying myself with a rice cooker. How did someone let me out of the house without my helmet and a safety harness, you might wonder? I don't know. I can just imagine 20 years from now, thumbing through my treasured albums and coming across something like this:
Awesome. I love it. I didn't know Sloth made appearances outside of "Goonies!" And what's he doing with my rice cooker?! Rocky road! Seriously, people. I'm horrified. I'm about to pay a photographer thousands of dollars to document my big day, but every time I see a picture of myself I draw a step closer to actually physically disassembling my parts on an atomic level and starting over.
Whoa! Yikes! Hey, lookin' good. Did you hear that noise just now? That's the sound of mirrors breaking and babies crying. I apologize. So if there is a bride-to-be in your life, do her a favor. Document her day as much as you want with those cameras, but if you come across something that looks as though it belongs in her photographic hall of shame, delete and don't repeat.

Now accepting bids for the actual picture of Taylor's face.
That's right, I have it. You know how to contact me.
Taylor... I feel your pain. My wonderful Mom has been torturing me with the "candid shot” MY ENTIRE LIFE! You know! I even have some horrific Girl Scout pics of us looking our best in those damn green socks, big bows and side pony tails as we are making the most ridiculous faces at each other… I figured we would have grown out of that. I vow to delete any not so fabulous picture if you do the same for me! My wedding stuff will be starting soon….
You looked beautiful!!
And to think I wasn't able to see these delightful poses in person! I heart my Billy's face.
I wonder if it is worse than my mug shot from Lou Sterret?
Uh... Whuts wrong wit dem pichas? Dem luks purty gud to me. Look like movy stars and stuf.
That's what happens when you have a "dry" shower.
Cocktails improve everyone's appearance!
Trust me. That's how I ended up with Husband #1.
