Hi!
I was --- and AM --- one of the posters who made my feelings COMPLETELY clear on the subject of Chris and how he appeared and read to me in most of the pics taken of the two of them (and him) prior to their wedding.
I am ALSO one of the ones who did not appreciate his flipping a bird at a photog, back in November, thought it was childish behavior on his part, and said so.
I stated my observations and opinions then, and still stand by what I previously posted on the subject, now.
Having said that . . .
I am just beginning to REALLY post anything at all now, AFTER the wedding, because I was at work most of the day and missed most of the festivities, anyway, and couldn't post more than one or two times.
So, nope, I DIDN'T take the day off. I was just unavoidably delayed and am catching up on a lot of what I missed since I got back in a couple of hours or so, ago.
What I'm about to post as regards Chris today at the wedding (based on what I've been able to catch up on so far, going through these threads), was going to be posted ANYWAY, after I'd gone through to the end of this thread, but I saw your post and decided to respond to it immediately.
The man melted my heart, today.
That shot of his face as he saw Maddie coming down the aisle, looking as though he was about to lose it, made ME almost lose it, too.
I was --- and AM --- SO happy to see that pic, and others of him beaming like a lighthouse and radiating sheer joy.
I've stated this before and will state it again, here and now: Yes, he's handsome, but he's even MORE so when he smiles.
And, BOY, did we get to see PLENTY of his teeth TODAY!
Yep, I DO recall saying words to the effect that he read to me very negatively because of the fact that in MOST of the pics of him I'd seen since his engagement announcement, no smile was anywhere on his face. While Maddie, OTOH, was always beside him, smiling so hard you could practically see her wisdom teeth! I said he seemed grumpy and appeared as though he didn't want to be any part of the situation he now found himself in, being engaged to Maddie, even though he himself had created the situation by proposing to her in the first place, and the photogs, and so on, were all a part of it.
Yep, I said that, and stand by it.
Just as I've also said that after seeing the photos of the guy today, he really moved me through his apparently genuine emotion, affection and love for his lady that CLEARLY showed on his face and through his actions.
Yep, I said that, too, and stand by it, as well.
And yes, I wish them well, and sincerely hope they'll last a lifetime together!
