  • Oh man; what a day. What’s more stressful? Is it a groom at the cusp of a life altering event that, by now, seems to have a life of it’s own like the James Taylor lyrics, “I’m a steamroller for your love baby.” Or is it worse to be that young man splayed across a couch as minutes turn to hours, where every second seems like a lifetime? Old enough to suffer. Much too old to find comfort from a stuffed bear. Tough choice for these two but easy enough for the rest of us to say, “That’s a nice moment.” Real nice.
  • A laughable scene, this image surprises the viewer with small tidbits of entertainment. Behind the weary pair hangs a portrait of a retro bride and groom.
