  1. My Baby Just Cares For Me

    April 22, 2010 by Gail

    "We still hold hands when we watch television."

    One of my favourite photos from the art gallery wedding last month, this was taken at the end of the night during the last dance. It never fails to amaze the guests that I stay until the very end (most photographers don’t), but that’s because I like to capture these moments. It’s worth it.

    These are the groom’s parents, who’ve been married more than 40 years. She told me they got married and started their family when she was 17 years old. Here they are, grandparents of six, totally oblivious to me and everyone else at 1 o’clock in the morning and looking into each others’ eyes with love and happiness.

    “We still hold hands when we watch television.”

    I wish this kind of love for every couple.

    This is why I have holes in my clothes. There are actually two hole-makers here, but for some reason Xena picks at me like I’m a guitar. ALL THE TIME.

    I also like the French version (there are subtitles in English as well):

    I’m in one of the two teams (thus far) from The Brides’ Project doing this year’s Relay For Life to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society. I just set up my personal page:

    Just like the previous two years we’re doing the overnight relay wearing “basement” gowns from The Brides’ Project, so stay tuned for more photos of us wearing the UGLIEST wedding dresses you’ve ever seen. Here’s the photoset from last year of Neesa and Natalia and I looking for our ultimate fugly gowns: [thumbnails] [slideshow]

    Here’s a video of The Brides’ Project Team from 2008.

    Relay For Life takes place at Forest Hill Memorial Park on Friday, June 11, from 7pm to 7am.

    Relay For Life

    If you’ve never heard of Relay For Life, here’s the scoop:

    Relay For Life is a 12 hour, non-competitive, overnight event. Teams of 10 people – family, friends, neighbours, co-workers – take turns walking around a track to raise funds to make cancer history.

    The Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to get together with family and friends and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back in the hope of finding a cure for this terrible disease.

    Relay is fun, fulfilling, and your participation gives strength to our mission to eradicate cancer. Walk with us in this inspirational 12-hour overnight event.

    Last year Neesa and I were up all night long without a nap. At some point in the night, I think we lost our minds:

    Natalia also had a wardrobe malfunction.

    yes, that would be Neesa doing cartwheels in a wedding dress in front of a bank of porta-johns

    We’ll have a tent set up, plenty of snacks and drinks to keep us going, and it’ll be a lot of fun staying up all night together! If you can’t join us, we would love your sponsorship of any amount.
