This would have to be my favourite photo of me and the hubster.
Technically speaking, it’s not a great picture. The lighting’s pretty ordinary, and the background isn’t anything special.
On a more personal level, I’m not loving my double chin or that my arm looks dimply. I remember that this pic was taken after a long and busy day, and we were both probably feeling hot and sweaty. You can’t even see the hubster’s face properly.
BUT.
It’s still my absolute favourite photo of us; and that’s because it captures our relationship so beautifully.
I love:
- how we are snuggled together – I am tucked under one of his arms, and one of my hands is resting on his chest.
- how contented, secure and relaxed I look – my smile says it all.
- how he is looking at me – like I am the most precious, amazing, woman in the world – truly, the look of love.
It’s plain to see just from this one photo, that our love is flourishing even after more than 26 years of marriage!
And it also reminds me of one that was taken at our wedding.
Of course we’re looking a bit younger, a bit more dressed up, and a bit thinner back then! But it has a very similar mood; the hubster is giving me that exact same look of love. My expression is a little different … rather than content and secure, I look like I am in awe and wonder at snaring such a handsome and amazing hubby, on the threshold of our lives together.
Yes, I’m a sap! Can you see why these are my favourite photos of us, even though they were taken more than a quarter of a century apart?!
