Stuff Portrait Friday: Wedding Eve Edition

Kristine is getting married. SATURDAY. And she still had time to assign an SPF. As if she doesn’t have other more pressing issues to worry about!

This week it’s:

1. Your Love (show us some love)
2. Take us on a Honeymoon! (bring us somewhere with your pictures)
3. Something Blue (No sad faces before my wedding!)

First up, my love. I know you’re all expecting to see Matte here. But that’s a given, plus, he’ll appear a bit later. I could also have submitted my cats, but then I’d get all those Crazy Cat Lady comments. And I’m completely sane. The object of my affection is Fresca. Taunt if you will, but pop open a can. A few years ago I brought it to a BBQ and my friends scoffed “Fresca? Is that stuff even still around?” But now, I can’t go to one of their houses without seeing it as a beverage choice. It’s fabulous.
Fresca

I’ve never been on a honeymoon, my own or anyone else’s, but when I do go on one, I’d like it to be tropical, like this scene. My friend Mary Beth took this photo of me in Destin, FL a couple of years ago. Check out my savage tan. I don’t think I’ve ever been more relaxed than when I was floating around on that raft, without a care in the world, except how I could have a beer brought out to me.
Relax

My choice for something blue is Matte’s eye. He has another one just like it. Unfortunately I couldn’t quite capture the blueness of his peepers, but they’re quite blue. And he has naturally long eyelashes that I want to transplant to my lids. I could gaze into his baby blues for days, but I have a job to go to. By the way, he has perfect vision out of those eyeballs. No glasses or contacts necessary.
Something blue

Did you play? Kristine did, a little, and she’s getting married Saturday. See, there are some things that take precedent over SPF, but not very many.

    Never tried that drink. I drank Fresca soda as a kid.

    Anyone on the beach or near the beach is truly on vacation/honeymoon…whatever, the beach rocks.

    Nice blue eyes. Curses on the perfect vision.

    I played.

    Matte has beautiful blue eyes (yes something regarding a man can be beautiful although my hubby would object).

    I almost posted my kitty too…lol. Great SPF!

    I played.

    I don’t drink soda but I think I’ve seen Fresca in the store around here. I have no idea what it tastes like though.

    Great Destin shot- you are right- all you’re missing is a beverage of choice (Fresca?) ;-)

    Happy SPF and I played too.

    That Florida pic…that is where I want to be RIGHT.NOW. Oh you look so relaxed and it’s so pretty…argh.

    Never tried Fresca. But it was all the rage where I used to work at a summer camp in MN.

    I played, have a good weekend!

    Destin….worst sunburn of my life. That is my memory of Destin.

    i can’t believe how blue that water is. especially in fla. great pics! i played too!

  12. Kami had this to say on July 7th, 2006 at 7:49 am

    I love that pic of you all tan!

  13. Juliabohemian had this to say on July 7th, 2006 at 7:50 am

    love the fireworks picture. That’s my favorite color. Funny you should say “he has another one just like it” My aunt has one blue and one brown. Supposedly this can only happen to women because they have something called mosaic chromosomes. That means because there are two X’s that they are able to have two opposing traits simultaneously. Weird.

    Nice pics

    I Luuuuv me some Fresca. I particularly like the new peach flavor, though I still buy the original, too.

    I played, too.

  15. Jana had this to say on July 7th, 2006 at 8:08 am

    Great pics!

    I played!

    So are we all going to Destin sometime soon? I still think that’s a funny coincidence! It’s fate! And I think those blue eyes are being passed to the next generation-Noah and Caden both have these great blue eyes. Oh, and Fresca? YUM!!!

  17. Susan had this to say on July 7th, 2006 at 9:36 am

    I guess I’ll have to go try me some Fresca…I used to really like it years ago then it just sorta disappered. Isn’t Tab making a come-back too?

    Happy SPF!

    Highlight of the post. #1 your love is a drink.
    #2 his eye “he has another one just like it”

    very funny

    Love the something blue photo! I couldn’t resist taking a photo of my love’s blue eyes also :)

  20. Carrie had this to say on July 7th, 2006 at 1:19 pm

    Wow! The water in the second picture is amazing! All the beaches down here have murky brownish-green water. :)

    I played

    I played!
