the boys before the arrival of team bride (killing time in formal wear)

Tragic lad

Where can she be? Perhaps mulling over Kierkegaard will help my loneliness.

On days when he's getting married,
James likes to take his mind off his
late bride with a quick game of
football.

Me?

Because to James life is one big NHL event, he gave the members of Team Groom their own hockey cards to show that they were 'on his all-star team'. Here Nic looks at his card with surprised pleasure.

 



 

 

james u.k.

James says that if Team Groom were a band, this shot would be in the liner notes.

People have commented that the setting and clothing gives these pictures an authentic Scottish feeling, as if we jetted off to the island for our nuptials. I can kind of see it in this shot.

Once again, Nic is fascinated with his sporran. He said later that he would've liked it better if it wasn't made of animal skin. And since he's a die-hard proletariat-pants-wearing straight-edge punk rawk vegan, maybe that's why he's staring at the damn thing in almost every shot.

 

wild groomsman of the bush

I have no idea what the hell my brother is doing in the bushes, especially with that look on his face. One hopes that he is merely adjusting the tightness of his tuxedo shirt in the privet hedge. The alternative is not to be considered.

 

 

 

james takes his first drink

Scott provides the groom with the first passed flask of the day. We gave flasks to the groomsmen and our reverend Reverend, of which we felt justly proud. This is all the more poignant for Scott (owner of the manic grin in the background), since he hasn't had a flask since the Ein-stein's birthday of '97. We created a pewter monster, as various people (including Q) urged flasks of Scotch on me as the night went on.

I can only guess at what was offered to my groom.





there are more pre-wedding shots in this direction.
can you handle the excitement?
