More than two years after our wedding, I'm finally sitting down to order our photos. Since we already paid for everything, it's probably about time. Our final decision is to select "The One"; you know, the one photo that will be blown up to a disproportionate size and proudly displayed on our wall for friends, family, guests and children to admire as the perfect shot of the blessed event for the next 30-50 years. No matter what Adam tells you, it is a big deal, and it is difficult to just pick one. After several days, however, I still can't decide, so I am leaving it up to our faithful readers (Hi Mom!) to choose what they would like to see on our walls when they visit.
Sorry for the very poor quality. Taking a photo of a photo is more difficult than you would think. In no particular order (comments below photo):
Pros - Adam's pick. Artistic and creative. I love the bouquet and the sepia quality. It benefits us to be slightly out of focus.
Cons - Too trendy for 2030? Also, you really can't see the dress and there's a random hand on my butt.
Pros - Happy smiling faces and lots of color. Nice couple photo in an outdoor setting (vs church).
Cons - Somewhat boring and uninteresting. I have a million photos like this minus the flowers and gown.
Pros - Same as Option 2, but you get more dress and action.
Cons - A little creepy, like we're staring at you with a secret from the past?
Pros - Possibly my favorite. Lots of nature, color, and theatrics. Not so front-and-center; no staring directly at the camera. Would probably match my wall color.
Cons - Too far away. Can't see faces. Distracting grasses. Why are we kissing in a prairie anyway? I can see that being an issue later on, when I have to explain to kids that this distant, blurry shot was the best photo we took as a couple.
This is not an option. It is simply out of order and I haven't figured out how to cut and paste on Blogger yet. (FYI - new wall color! That will be a later post.)
Pros - Traditional photo in traditional pose in respectable environment. Perfect for framing. I still have my lipstick on.
Cons - Dated green background. Expected.
Pros - This is more for reference anyway. We're not picking this one, although at least we're smiling at the camera and you get the full view.
Cons - Not going to happen.
Please send us your serious suggestions. You may vote more than once, if you'd like. One winner will be randomly selected to have his or her photos taken and judged by America.

My vote is for number 3
Number 4. Everyone knows it's a wedding photo of you, so distance isn't a problem.
Number 4. Still of you 2, but a little artsy.
