What's with all the creepy bunnies?



Ilovethem.


If you people are gonna keep doing engagement photo sessions, would you at least ditch the effing balloons and bring along a bunny suit?

A panda suit, and/or a panda head would also be acceptable.

    HA! I just laughed out loud. I'm getting so tired of the balloon engagement shots... bunnies are the new balloon.

    i remember that spread with the bunny. the sex-ay dude underneath that costume made me want to go furry (it's the new spanking).

    Fuck yes! Fuck the fucking bicycles.

    (Was that overly emphatic?)

    I would add mustaches-on-a-stick to your balloons and bicycles, but I see you beat me to it:

    i am so pumped that balloons got called out! ha! add them to the VERY long list of all the things you should never EVER do again! while we're at it, can we talk about announcing the "new couple" and speeches? i think there should be a strict no microphone policy at weddings! sheesh... self important mofos.

    I second no microphones! I'm positive if we'd had a microphone at our reception my drunk ass would have totally made a fool of itself.

    I mean, more-so than it already did.

    totally agree about the balloons and bikes, infact I never liked them, too cutesy. I just posted some of my friend's engagement photos today sans any trendy props but there is a mustache and a beard, so I don't know if they'll make the cut with this crowd but they are pretty cute:}

    Oh, I m so in on this! Can we cut pinwheels too? Perhaps props in general would be a good idea.
