at least it started out with laughter

This was taken by John Kaemmerling at our wedding in San Francisco. www.johnkphoto.com
However, I played with the chroma to give it more of a paparazzi look.

We were watching Belle Monroe (see previous pic in photostream) do a satire jig about marriage just as this was taken.

Funny stuff!!!!

I remember this moment so very clearly... My bandmates and I still talk about it. It came as I was singing the last verse of the song. Just before I started singing, the bass player leaned over to me and said "I'm glad I'm not you." I was so nervous, I couldn't look you in the eye! Thanks for taking it so well.

This is the verse:

"So listen up fellas, take my advice,
Don't be in no hurry to wed.
You'll think you're in a clover 'til the Honeymoon is over,
And then, you'll wish you were dead.

With a cross-eyed baby on each knee,
And a wife with a pimple on her nose,
You'll know true love ain't runnin' too smooth
When you're wearing those second hand clothes."

I think this shot was taken as I sang the 'pimple' line. What a perfect picture!!

it would have been 3 years ago yesterday. i'm feeling very reflective, and thought i would throw out a big thank you to everyone who's shown this photo so much love over the last 2 and a half years. i appreciate the attention, and despite the fact that we are no longer married, i still look at this and think warmly of that day and of my former groom.

and how strange... how apt the title after all.
