Thought bubbles, anyone?

As I was sifting through photos yesterday, I came across this gem taken after our reception:

This is just a trick of the camera, though. She's really not angry. My mom was a Greg fan from the start, supportive through the whole wedding planning and pre-marriage phase. She was happy for us. Right, Mom?

Thought bubbles, anyone?

Maybe something along the lines of "Hey, you two."

She's just making sure you're doing it right. Kinda creepy but so mom like.

if it were me I'd be thinking, "Holy Crap! I have a daughter old enough to be married! What the..."

If I were her, I'd be thinking, "Gross. Save it for later!" I think it would be highly disturbing to watch your kids kissing someone, even their husband.

Oh my heavens! I don't think I have seen that photo. I can't imagine I was thinking anything but good and loving thoughts, because that is how I felt the entire day. It was one of the happiest days of my life. It looks like a furtive, sidelong glance. I should have just turned my head instead of leering. I loved to see you two kiss and be happy! It looks like I was thinking "Get a room!" but I wasn't. So funny. This is worthy of an album of "caught off guard" photos.

Sorry, Mom. It's hardly fair of me to post it but I just couldn't resist. I do know it was a joyful day for us all and that you weren't saying "get a room" or anything. I just couldn't resist. That photo made my day :)
