After some thought

I don't know how many of you have experienced this, but pictures often grow on me.

For example, here are some pictures from my wedding. When I was perusing my pictures after getting them from the photographer I looked over all of these. None of them really stood out to me as favorites. In fact, I didn't even like some of them. I was looking through my wedding photos with my sister yesterday and discovered that I quite like each of these. It took a while, but after some thought, I have decided that they are quite pleasant.

I don't know why I didn't like this one at first. Maybe because it wasn't what I "envisioned". I think I was probably moping about the fact that it had rained and there was grey sky instead of brilliantly vibrant blue. It has grown on me though.

There's also this one. I thought it looked odd. I still kind of think it does, but I love the grass in the front. I love the color in it as well. I also like that Erik has the tiniest of smirks...

This one was not a favorite at the beginning because we are kissing in it. And my chin looks funny. I am not a big fan of kissing pictures. Seriously, how many of them do you need? This is one of the only pictures that actually shows some of the detailing on my dress. And I just think it's kind of cool. (Side note: a year ago I would have been mortified to post this as we are kissing in it. I am still a little embarrassed by it, but I'll deal)

Please note, we are not actually kissing in this photo. I wasn't a huge fan of this one at the beginning because we are so far away in it. Now I like it. That's really all I have to say.

And I have no idea why I like this one. Maybe it's because it is right before I stepped on a snake, but for some reason I think it's pleasant.
