At least it worked, right? I like short wedding dresses; you can use them for things other than your own wedding. Sleeves are also nice.
I also like the little beaded things on your bouquet. I love trinkets.
My bouquet was a bunch of rolled up felt.

@AD you look purty. Yes, I complimented you. Don't let it go to your head.
@Renee- I don't think I have any pictures of my first wedding either. Can't say I'd want them if I had them. You look purty too.
@Becs, those look like real flowers. Neat. Did you make them?
I feel bad for not posting more pics. So here! I used to do artsy fartsy type photography. These are examples. Although these were taken with first generation digital, so they're kind of grainy. One got published. The cow one. These are all back in the Valley.

I'm actually from Iowa, but we didn't have much there either. There's Albert, the world's largest plaster bull. He has graffiti all over his nuts.

Best part about not being married to someone - never cleaning up after them.
Jack Campbell Jr.
from Lawrence, KS is reading American Rust by Phillipp MeyerJune 8, 2012 - 9:41am
No, the best part is definitely not having to deal with their stupid friends. The cleaning thing evens out if it done correctly, but stupid friends are a constant.
Everyone has them. You just don't notice them as much if they are your own.
avery of the dead
from Kentucky is reading Cipher SistersJune 8, 2012 - 9:45am
If done correctly, sure, but how often does that happen? I'm sticking with not cleaning up after them. To be fair, the stupid friend thing was never an issue for me. I won't say why.
My new ideas about relationships are deranged. I'm happy with them.
Jack Campbell Jr.
from Lawrence, KS is reading American Rust by Phillipp MeyerJune 8, 2012 - 9:56am
Yeah, the cleaning thing was never a problem for me, but there was always some friend in crisis. I would either sit there awkwardly, pretending I wasn't uncomfortable, or lock myself in the bathroom, sit on the edge of the tub and read.
Sometimes, if I saw her car there I would just drive by.
Everyone I've ever dated has had at least one friend like that.
I am generally pretty organized for a single male, and if I realize someone is cleaning for me, I get very antsy and have to get up and do it myself.

My wedding dress from my first marriage was pretty beautiful. But after my ex's complete breakdown and morph into mega-asshole-face, it was much more satisfying to toss that thing into the dumpster outside my apartment than it would have been to keep it or sell it. Instrinsic value...oh yeah.

Well, as I have mentioned before - I was about to get married and we decided it wasn't the right move. So I have this pimp ass black suit from Hugo Boss (I didn't want to go tux, I wanted to go pimp ass black suit) just sitting in my closet. Nobody ever invites me or tells me about any black tie affairs. But still, the pimp ass black suit sits there waiting. It is better for a single man anyway. It would have been wasted on a wedding, looking all good in that pimp ass black suit.
