busy day : not lately

Monday : off work!

getting too big : wedding

Quote: REally, how many pics do you think she will be in? Probably only a few. Talk with your photog, and express your concern - I know from experience that it is very difficult to remove them in Photoshop. Yeah I am not going to worry about removing them in Photoshop. I talked to my bridesmaid last night and she doesn't want them showing either, so we are going to look at a dress that criss crosses in the back to cover the ones on her shoulders.

You can't see it in any of the pics. Thankfully the sister with the tattoo wasn't offended and actually did NOT wan her tat in any pictures b/c she hates it. I would say either get her a shawl or the umbrellas or just make sure not to take back pictures. That way you don't have to tell her or offend her at all. Then the subject won't even come up! And you won't have an angry friend or photoshop to deal with. Good luck! Thanks Calia! That’s a great idea! Coincidentally my Bridesmaid brought up her tattoos when we were talking about Bridesmaid dresses last night and she said that she wanted to make sure her tattoos didn’t show in the pictures! So, I will definitely tell her your suggestions too! I know that a lot of people seemed to think that I wasn't being a good friend, for not wanting her tattoos showing in the photos. But to be honest, I would understand if my friends didn't want me to show my tattoos in their wedding photos either!

Yeah it was pretty good!!

Quote: I have a tattoo on my arm that I really didn't want in the pictures. So, I stood in a way that it wouldn't show as much as I possibly could. If they are on her back, I bet that when you get your pictures and choose which ones you would want framed it won't be that big a deal. My photog did remove my tattoo in a couple of pics she thought looked better without it. I'm sure if there is a pic you absolutely want framed and they are showing you could ask your photog to remove it on that specific one, rather than worrying about every pic. Really, with where they are located, you may be surprised that they won't show at all in your pictures. Thanks! That's just the answer I was looking for!

Quote: Okay......I can see your concern now. How are they sized? What type of dress will she be wearing? There are two and they are about the size of your hand stretched out. I haven't chosen a dress yet. I was hoping to find something that covered the back, but I haven't had any luck yet.

Quote: I am sorry, but you asked her to be in your wedding knowing she has tattoos. You could ask her to hold off on getting another one till after the wedding, but even then....touchy subject. KWIM. If somebody asked me to cover them up for pictures I would be hurt. All of my tattoos have a meaning and show the course my life has taken over the years, they ARE part of who I am. You love her enough to ask her to be in your wedding, but yet don't want something that sets her aside from others to not be. I don't want to sound mean in any way. Plus, cover up may not hold up to well in the hot sun and may look even worse. If she is okay with it, I would take the course of having the photographer photoshopping them out. She is an amazing friend, that is why I asked her to be in my wedding party. She got the tattoos on her back and wrist after I asked her. Regardless, it wouldn't have changed my mind about asking her. As stated in one of my previous comments, I don't want to say anything that will hurt her feelings, which is why I would not ask her to cover them up. She got the tattoos on her back (the ones I am more concerned about) spur of the moment and they are cartoon tattoos. I'm pretty sure there are other brides out there who would not want cartoon tattoos in their wedding photos.

hard to do with my dog:catch him

That's exactly the way I feel Carly! I think I might just talk to the photographer and see if he can work around it.

wine tasting: love it

I think I might talk to the photographer about it!

parasailing : so much fun!

I've thought about asking her to cover them, but she is very easily offended and I don't want to make her feel bad. It's not that I have anything against her tattoos. I just don't want them in the photos!

ice wine jelly: haven't tried

She is a very close friend and I don't have anything against tattoos at all! I have a tattoo on my hip, and my FI has many tattoos, but all of ours (and everyone else in the wedding party) will have theirs covered. I thought about getting a dress that covered the shoulders, but I am having a beach wedding and I don't want them to be uncomfortable, you know? It's a tough one!

Quote: Ok here is my confession: I absolutley hate the fact that my FH works with his family. It is a family owned business and they all work TOGETHER (his parents, 2 brothers, 1 sister and employees). Here it is 7:30 and he is still not home. He left at seven this morning!!!! Additionally, we went over to his brothers house last night for dinner. UGGHHHHHH. I can't seem to get rid of them. His mom and sister are super snooty shopaholics and his brother seems to always have some type of insult to throw at me. After almost ten years, I am fed up with them. Glad to get that off my chest My FIs family is kind of like that. His parents always want us to go over and are constantly calling, to the point that he doesn't even pick up the phone sometimes, because it annoys him too! Insults from the brother - I'm right there with ya girl! My FIs brother doesn't get along with anyone, not even FI, so its really awkward anytime he is around!

cottage:cheese

I have a bit of a dilemma. One of my bridesmaids has a couple of tattoos on her shoulders and she just got one on her wrist and is talking about getting another tattoo. I don't have anything against tattoos, but I'm not sure I want all of the tattoos showing in the wedding pictures. How do you guys recommend I approach the situation?
