Expecting someone taller?

[amberdreams]

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...!

Your family all look lovely and happy.

You're lucky to get to feel tall. My brother and his wife are the same height, both just over six feet tall. I am just over five feet tall. I fully expect that this Christmas I will find that niece or nephew or maybe both will have gotten taller than me.

On the other hand, it's useful having the tall people around. Now that both my parents are of an age where they are losing height, our household is on the verge of being collectively incapable of reaching the shelf where the mixing bowls are. We will just have to give up mixing forever.

You are not that wide and your canvas bag fits in with the granny's black satchel bag. lol

btw, which is the groom?

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.

Nonsense; YOU LOOK GREAT. Your dress is super-cute. And LOL, the bag was LESS appropriate with the pic of Castiel?? Well... I guess in SOME circles. ;-)

Ha ha, but the ONE tall guy does look kind of out of place.

What a great picture! You look great, your dad appears uninjured and I love your mum's skirt! Also hahaha, to the Castiel bag.... ;)

Aw, the kids!
Being tall has its own burden! You don't have to stoop all the time :)

I've come to accept I'm a shortarse. I'm 5'2 but it doesn't help having a husband who's 6'3. I'm just praying the kids take after him rather than me!
