I actually don't know if this is an American, or worldwide epidemic...but from what I can see, its definitely a Utah thing.
I'm talking engagement pictures. This goes out mostly to Colby...who still has the power to stop the lunacy.
Jimmi-freakin-KNEE is all i've got to say from the beginning. I HATE the trend that follow engagement pictures. There is inevitably a picture of the happy couple skipping in blue jeans or rollicking in the freshly strewn hay. That's fine. SO you like the farm scene? I've got no qualm with that. ALTHOUGH I find it inconsistent when hair and make-up are over done and our bride has 8" heels. If you simply must look "FABULOUS when you feed the swine" At least throw on the overalls.
Since when did abandoned boxcars, dingy alleyways, and tractors become inseparably connected to matrimony? I sense that the pictures are framed to capture the "personality and essence" of the couple...but honestly, who are these kids trying to impress? I'm sure farmers across Idaho swipe tears from their dusty, sunken cheeks every time an envelope is licked containing a beautiful International Harvester; And vagabonds tip their bowlers when a engaged pair mount a caboose for a quick pic.
I feel respectable folk should've piped up much earlier to curb this epidemic.
In my minds eye, a marriage should fault more on the "overly-formal, gaudy affair" side of things rather than the "gypsy-tramp rave" style that brings out the "FUN personality" of the gypsy-tramps being married. The invitation should set the tone for the evening...and from this moment until forever, if an invite portrays the couple in rolled up jeans and a fishing pole with Chuck Taylor Converse's, i'll ante up and raise them: straw hat up top and slingshot in the back pocket--NO one will "out-Huck Finn" me!!
