Expecting someone taller?

My cousin's new wife has collated all the wedding pics from their marriage celebration a couple of weekends ago, and although I'm dischuffed about how bloody WIDE I am (I really do need to lose a couple of stones) - suddenly I feel quite tall. I mean, what a bunch of short-arses my family is. Ha ha ha!!!

In case you hadn't seen me before, I'm the dork on the end holding a wedding-inappropriate canvas bag with a picture of Castiel on its reverse. At least I remembered to turn it around for the photo...!

Lovely family picture - and you have wonderful hair!

I never feel short even though I'm not exactly pushing at the sky at 5'5 (and a half - the half is important) partially because I wear heels most of the time so mentally I feel about 5'8. Unless I stand next to my 6'3 and a half tall brother, then my delusions are shattered.

ha ha ha fortunately I don't have any siblings to measure up to and everyone in my family tends towards the short side with the exception of my paternal grandfather who was 6 foot. My paternal gran was 4' 11 and always said she was easier to jump over than run round! I'm only 5' 1" (nearly 5' 2" on a good day)
