Happy 4th Anniversary, Andreas!
Today is our 4th wedding Anniversary! To celebrate, I thought I would share a few outtakes from our wedding photos.

Me and my duct-taped boobs pushing Dre on the swing. The boobs totally distract me here.

This one totally looks like we're engaged in some hot conjugal buttsecks. Look, I'm all braced against a tree and everything! It's allowed! We're married now!

The bride took the crazytrain express to weddingtown and will eat your soul! When I make faces like this, it's usually because I think I'm being funny. How terribly wrong I am.
Who wants to caption these photos in the comments?

I'm not that witty. So, I'll just wish you and Andreas a Happy Anniversary.

Rachel said
Congrats! Yesterday was Tom and I's 4 year anniversary (from when we started dating). YAY!
Steph said
Awww the swing pic is way cute and the boobage can always be photoshopped!
Amanda said
I like the second picture. It looks like maybe you moved the wrong way, and you are gasping in pain because the duct tape ripped a nipple off!
Congrats,Happy 4 Years!
Lauren said
Congrats! These pics are HILARIOUS! I wish I could think of captions, but I think the pictures speak for themselves. Your wedding looked like SO MUCH FUN!
Danielle said
Honestly, I thought the first one was sweet and did not think of buttsecks til I read your comment.
For you second picture, how about: "Bridezillas? HA! I eat Bridezillas for breakfast."
And for the third one: "Duct tape–is there anything it can't do?"

Not sure about captions, but the second one makes me wonder where Andreas' right hand was at that moment.
Happy Fourth-a-versary!

By the way, how exactly did you duct tape your boobs? I have no idea what to do with my double Ds in my backless dress :S

1. "Smile for the pornographer, honey!"
2. "Another picture? ANOTHER posed picture? I WILL EAT YOUR CAMERA IF THIS ISN'T THE LAST ONE!
3. "Taking pictures is much more fun after blazing a fatty. Wheee!"

Dude, where did you get Andreas' shirt? I wantttt one for my own little offbeat groom! I'll madly search the site for the answer, but if you see this, let me know!
And captions… well I'm not clever enough! but happy 4th to you both!

Congrats on the anniversary!
Also: Wowza, Andreas is a looker! If you two ever chose to procreate, you'd have some purdy little OBB's– Offbeat Babies!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Did the duct tape hurt any coming off? Just seems like it would.
Emily said
I'm actually still laughing about YOUR caption to the second one…I am totally working that explanation in to a sentence today.
HAPPY FOURTH!!
Shaina said
Aww, congratulations! I hope you have a great anniversary.

#1 makes me think your gonna break out into dance!
#2- "in the midst of romantic picture taking andreas thought that now would be the perfect time to tell his bride that his parents would be moving in"
(there is just something about newlyweds living with mom n' pop that makes me giggle. perhaps because my FH and i have been there twice.)
and #3 is actually sweet i think. also- nothin wrong with some boobage!
Cassandra said
Happy anniversary! I'd come up with captions, but I think you did a pretty good job on that…I'm a big fan of the second one, because I totally do the same thing and feel your pain when looking back at the photos afterwards.
