When I read on Friday that this was the theme of The Gallery this week I thought it would be fun to show you Mr B and I. Our faces. Since you don’t get to see them very often. In fact when I started this blog I was pretty anonymous, and wanted to stay that way. Not only did I hate having my picture taken but when it was taken I never liked the result.
And then I read an article about mums airbrushing themselves out of their children’s lives by always being the one taking the picture. Or refusing to be in it. So I thought “sod it” and made a conscious decision to try and be in more pictures. I don’t like them but hey, it’s me.
This pic, clearly, was taken on our wedding day. I think our faces show relief and also happiness. As we got married at our reception venue the car that brought me to the venue waited. So after the ceremony and having walked out of the room to the Turtles “Happy Together” we jumped back in the car, with a glass of Champagne each and went for a drive for fifteen minutes. Just us. A chance to say “good morning”.
We came back up the road, to all our guests assembled on the drive, ready with confetti.
Magical.
And, well, I think our faces say it all, don’t they?
They certainly do! A pair of very happy faces 🙂 I think it’s right that we have photos of ourselves as we are part of family life too!
Lots of people are way to hard on themselves about how they look in pictures. You look just fine.
You’re so right, I’ve not been in any photos for years as I hate them, immediately delete them but you made me think, you are so right here x
Love the huge smiles on both your faces. xx
*licks both your faces*
Loving the blonde look. Beautiful! Don’t hide behind the lens, lovely
What gorgeous faces they are too x
Aww what a lovely picture x
Definitely. I went to my brother’s wedding a fortnight ago, the first in 20 years for my family, so it was filled with smiles and happiness x
Beautiful picture. Such happy faces! I have also made a mental note to have more pictures of myself with the kids!
I feel exactly the same about photos of me. Your photo is lovely, you both look so happy 🙂
One of the best!
Very happy memories of a fantastic day.
Lots of xxxxxxxxx.
Lovely photo – you both look so happy, made me smile 🙂
yes they do! Good choice of photo, you both look so happy.
Aww you both look so happy and I get that relief feeling too after it’s all done and the nerves just melt away.
Ahh you both look super happy – lovely!
Lovely happy, and relaxed, faces!
I love your wedding dress. You have shared photos of it before and everytime I think, If I get married again ….(Not that I want to 21 years and still going strong!)
thank you Naomi, that’s a lovely thing to say!
Beautiful, your faces do show the joy x
Fabulous and incredibly happy picture. I think I’m one that airbrushes myself out a bit but recently vowed not to do it any more! xx
You two are so cute!! <3
