Okay, so Bob and I agreed we were going to stop posting mushy, self indulgent, love-and-marriage threads. We don’t want you all to get so totally sick of us that you don’t even want to come to the wedding. But I picked these up today and I wanted to share. [Smile]

Linkity, linkity, link, link.

What lovely pictures! That black and white one is very artistic.

Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :

YAY! How cute.

::begins to hope that her engagement portraits look as good as y'alls::

[Cry]

You guys look...soo...PERFECT together!

Dan saw me looking just now, and asked me if that was "Mr. Bob from lunch that one day".

Whe I said yes, he said, "Oh, cool! I didn't know he had a wife." [ROFL]

So I explained about the engagement and what that means, and he asked me to print the last picture for him. He wants to show his friends at school his friends "Mr. Bob" and "Mrs. Bob". [Big Grin]

Mr. Bob and Mrs. Bob. Bwahahahah! [Big Grin]

[Eek!]

How long have I been gone? Bob and Dkw engaged? [Confused]

A belated but heartfelt congratulations! [Big Grin]

How lovely! I too like the black and white one best.

Dkw, you have such a beautiful smile. [Smile]

They're great photos. Maybe I should get Tony and I a proper engagement photo. The only one we have right now is taken by my little sister, and my chin is cut off.

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

Nick, the relevant threads would be:

I Can See God’s Sense of Humor All Over This

and

If Bob Were a Woman or dkw Were a Man

Just so you can see what you missed. [Big Grin]

I believe that would be Dr. Bob and Reverned Mrs. Bob.

Posted by aretee (Member # 1743) on :

Okay, I've been gone for a while now, too.

dkw, I remember you. Yea! Congrats!

Bob? Who's Bob? What about Bob? Is he a Hatracker? What about Bob? (Sorry, bad movie pun)

Your pictures look great, by the way.

Posted by aretee (Member # 1743) on :

Well, wake up and fill me in!

I've seen Bob Scopatz or however you spell it. Is it him? I didn't ask because I didn't was to look or feel stupid. But, now I'm just going for broke.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Bob_Scopatz, aretee. He's kind of shy, doesn't come around much. [Wink]

Posted by aretee (Member # 1743) on :

*feels stupid*

Sorry.

Wow! Congrats!

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

Don't feel stupid. I'm basking in being recognized before Mr. 14000 posts. [Wink]

I haven't posted on your engagement thread yet, so I'd better get in there to offer my congratulations.

Posted by aretee (Member # 1743) on :

why grumblest thou, Mack?

This is a happy thread. So many knots being tied.

[The Wave]

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

I didn't get to take their engagement photos [Wink]

Believe you me, I am THRILLED that they're getting married. [Big Grin]

Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :

Great pics.

So hurry up and get married already!

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

You know, this is going to come out wrong, so I'll just get ready to be flamed for it.

DKW is just so beautiful. I mean, you get pictures in your head, right? I hate to say this, cause it's somewhat sexist, but I've only ever known one female methodist minister. So, I guess I kinda got this idea in my head that dkw would look similar to her or something. I know, I know, it's silly.

Well, she doesn't. Dana is just so lovely, with such a sweet smile. I just wanted you to know that, darling.

You two look so awesome together! I'll add my vote for the first one as my fav.

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

Congratulations from a newcomer to this forum - and a word of advice.

I work at a newspaper (The Messenger in Fort Dodge, IA), and one thing I do is put the announcements page for Sunday together - anniversaries, birthdays (age 80+), engagements, weddings. That last picture is probably the best choice to submit for your announcement if you haven't already. I haven't seen the Tribune, so I don't know how they do theirs, but at The Messenger we do one column and try to get it at least 2.25 inches high. So, a photo with your heads together is best. Also, if you submit the photo by email, don't tone or size it - they probably prefer to do it there. If you are loaning them a picture to scan that won't be a problem.

I just checked their website - wow, they charge for including a photo! We don't do that yet.

Anyway, congratulations on your engagement. [Smile]

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

(dies) Oh my God, you guys look so HAPPY.

ARRRGHHHH... (wants to hug the both of you)

Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :

Seriously. Pictures like these are why I love being a hopeless romantic.

You two are soooooo ridiculously cute! [Big Grin]

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Isn't she just adorable in that last one???

I love that shot.

I love Dana's smile in all the photos (especially since I'm the person she's smiling FOR) but that last picture just makes me melt into her.

It captures one of my favorite looks of hers.

[Wink]

Thanks, my love! I'm glad I get to be the one beside you in those pictures!

[Big Grin]

Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :

Dang, that is one cute, happy couple! [Smile]

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

[Big Grin]

The last picture's my fav, too... 'cause dk looks like she does at family stuff so much.... 'cute and just a little bit naughty. And you both look beyond happy, which is obviously the case, and it's great. [Big Grin]

I need a smilie with a bigger grin....

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Cool pictures. [Cool]

Posted by SillyMe (Member # 6395) on :

Aw, go ahead and post mushy love-and-marriage threads. I love weddings! [Big Grin]

I personally like #3!!

Mrs. Bob? Oh, I don't know about that.......can't he be Mr. Dana?

[Razz]

Posted by UofUlawguy (Member # 5492) on :

Bob looks a LOT older than dkw in those shots. A LOT older. [Evil]

But they both look really happy, don't they?

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

It just occurred to me why Dana looks so familiar to me--she's a dead ringer for a girl I went to High School with. It's spooky.

Good pics guys!

Posted by Mrs.M (Member # 2943) on :

I like #4 the best - I think that Bob and Dana look so right together in that one.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

I like all of them except the one with the really light background.

The others remind me of Rembrandt. Dark rich shades of black that aren't really black with lighting that seems to reflect the inner light coming from the faces.

Couldn't happen to better people!

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful pictures. You guys look GREAT in the last one, especially.

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Sheesh, you guys will stop at NOTHING to get us with a good April Fools Day joke.

Somehow I killed a thread with what I thought was a pretty funny statement. Oh well.
