Photos

In front of a camera I have impeccable timing. Nearly every staged picture I've been in features one of two reactions. The first reaction looks like this:                                           

Many an elementary school picture featured a smiling, nicely dressed, eyes-jammed-shut Sarah. It seems the best way around this is to take the picture just slightly before I expect it to happen. I'll be meeting with our photographer closer to the wedding to ensure that he plans for LOTS of extra shots of each posed picture plan. As part of our photography package we will get digital copies of every photo taken, giving Vader and I excellent blooper material for perusal after the wedding. 

My second go-to photo reaction is to make silly faces that usually involve opening my mouth very widely (read: many, many chins). Here are some of my best faces I'd rather not replicate on my wedding day:

While I'm sure a few of these will creep into our traditional photos (I can only imagine what face I'll pull during the cake-feeding pictures), I'm hoping to keep my goofiness to a minimum in the formal photos. Instead, I'm planning on being as ridiculous as possible in the....

PHOTO BOOTH! I'm incredibly excited that during our reception guests will be able to don silly costumes and take hilarious pictures to then paste copies of into a book for Vader's and my viewing pleasure. It's hardly new at wedding receptions, but who doesn't like cramming into a small box and taking the silliest pictures you can think of with the assistance of a couple of cocktails? 

And finally, here is exactly what I'd like to not look like on my wedding day, though I'm sure it will come through at some point:
