Photos of People Having an Authentic Time at my Wedding

I'm going to give you a bunch of details about the wedding with some actual wedding photos, etc. in the coming days. But for now, I want to leave you with this gem.

In the chaos of the morning and the photos with family and friends, someone took my phone. I think it was in my pocket and it was suggested I remove it for the pictures. I don't remember, really. It was all a whirlwind.

At the end of the wedding, my friend Caitlin handed my phone to me, saying she had it for a few hours and "don't worry. I took lots of pictures of people having a very authentic time."

I thanked her for her thoughtfulness and took the phone. On the drive back to the house I started looking through the photos she captured and discovered, well . . .

  7. Looks like a miserable time. :) I hope she also got pictures of you being authentic and you just forgot to share them with us because you want everyone else to be less photogenic than you are.

  8. These are some of the greatest pictures I have EVER seen. I was also at a big gay wedding on Saturday (my bestie married her amazing girlfriend - FINALLY) and we actually put disposable cameras at all the tables. I cannot WAIT to see some of the gems that come from those!!
