E-Pics: The Outtakes

Something y'all should know about the Lions is that we are really REALLY into goofy pictures.  And I'm not just talking "tee hee, you stuck your tongue out!"  I'm talking full blown nerd.

Sometimes we're sober:

Sometimes...not so much:

Sometimes Lion Corgi even gets in on the fun!

So when we ended up with several classic outtakes from our e-pics shoots, I knew we had to do something fun with them at the wedding.  They're definitely going to make an appearance in our rehearsal dinner slideshow, but I'm not sure where else to put them.
 Yep, that's Mr. Lion looking at my booty...totes inappropski.  And in the photo on the right, I was flinching because he was sweaty and kissing me.

 Here we have Mr. Lion sticking his tongue out while I tried to kiss him.  Then he made fun of my pouty face.

 Apparently, I make this face a lot...especially when Mr. Lion booty dances during inappropriate times.

So what do y'all think?  Any suggestions as to where we should include these gems?

E-Pics for Mr. Lion

Hive, I need to admit something to you.  I was really opposed to e-pics in the beginning.  I just didn't see the point!  We've been together for five years...surely by now we have enough pictures together.  Plus, every time I thought of e-pics, I imagined people smiling cheesily in matching outfits.  Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with that.  Engagement pictures in matching outfits can be adorable and classic, and I have lots of friends who have done similar photoshoots and been very pleased with the results.  It's just not us.  Besides, matching outfits make me think of this:

So I decided that we weren't going to have e-pics taken.  Then one day, Mr. Lion and I had a random conversation about favorites.  You know, favorite ice cream flavors, favorite movie of all time, etc.  We knew most of the answers for each other, but it was a fun conversation nonetheless.  Then, I asked Mr. Lion where is favorite place in the world was.  He answered, "UCF's campus."  The University of Central Florida in Orlando has changed a lot since Mr. Lion graduated from there in 2007.  He loves going back there now just to see how it has evolved.  Then, he added, "I wish we had taken more pictures of that campus when I was there."  Sigh.  My heart melted a little.  Ooookaaaay, we can take e-pics at UCF's campus.

Fortunately, our photographer was a friend so he was happy to tag along on a weekend road trip to Florida.  Here are a few of our favorites:
