The Ladies' Privilege

I'm a sucker for romantic comedies and I'm intrigued by this one.
 

Did you know there is an old wives tale which says that on February 29th, which of course, only happens on a leap year, a women is "allowed" to propose to their boyfriends?  I certainly didn't!  Ever wonder why society dictates (for the most part) that it is customary for the man to propose?  I mean it takes two people to decide they want to spend the rest of their lives together, doesn't it?  Though you won't see me complaining, I mean I got a ring out of it. If it were reversed, what would I propose with? a game console?   

Anyways, I loved her in Enchanted (should I be embarrassed to admit that?) and that male lead looks like a cutie.

Do you know of any ladies who took matters into their own hands? 

For those who watched the trailer, do you know someone who got jewelry as a present thinking something much more "special" was inside? I do...I bet it happens more than you think.

Wedding Day Part XII: Friends and Family Portrait Time!

After we took formal portraits with each and every one of our guests, it was time for some alone time with just me and Mr. Lovebird (and the two photographers and videographer, of course).

 So while our guests were enjoying a lovely cocktail hour on the terrace with the mariachi band, we snuck away for some pictures.

 

I won't bombard you with our marital bliss so here are some of our favorites!

 

Don't you love fisheye lenses?

 

 

Funny thing about this shot, so our first shooter, Vincent, is like, "climb over the ledge, it would make a great shot." Though hesitant, we obliged.  You probably can't tell from the picture, but I was scared sh*tless of falling off the cliff and drowning (I can't swim, let alone swim in a wedding dress).  It didn't help that hotel security was telling us to get off of there since it was too dangerous. 


There's something about this shot I love, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm pretty sure this was taken by our second shooter, Christian.


 

And of course, it wouldn't be a beach wedding without the obligatory jumping shot!


Here's a little tip: If you are planning to take bride and groom portraits during the cocktail hour, see if your caterer is willing to leave the two of you (and the photographers you are feeding) out of the head count for cocktail hour.  Every little bit helps right?

Of course part of me wished we could have been two places at once so that we could've enjoyed the cocktail hour with our guests.  I heard the horderves were delish and I didn't get to try any!   I wonder if cocktail hour was created for the sole purpose of allowing the bride and groom to have some "alone" time before the reception...

What are you and your new hubby/wifey plan on doing during your cocktail hour? And do try to keep them PG-13 responses. *wink wink*

Wedding Day Part II: The Boys Getting Ready
Wedding Day Part III: The Guests Getting Ready
Wedding Day Part IV: Bridal Portraits

Wedding Day Part XI: Wrapping Up the Ceremony


All along, I knew that, for me, a wedding "must" was to take a formal picture with each and every one of my guests.

I'm don't want to bombard the hive with all the formal portraits, so here are a few of my favorites:

 

The joining of the two families.

 

Our "Stuy" (High School) Friends and Honorary "Stuy" Friends



Us and the lovely Mehrish Family


Me and my lovely bridesmaids


The bridesmaids being silly


Our wonderful bridal party

Aren't fish-eye lenses great for group shots? Here's one with the Lovebirds kissing.

Yes, the formal portraits were time consuming and kinda hectic cuz we had to shuffle people around quickly, but it was totally worth it.  This was the only way I could guarantee that I had a picture of each and every one of the wonderful guests at my wedding. When I look back on this day years from now, I'll clearly remember each and every face that made our wedding so special with their presence.  


Are you planning on taking formal portraits with your guests?
