If you were to literally go to 800 weddings this summer, that would be 8.6 weddings a day…….just in case you wondered.
800/(June 20th – Sept 20th)=8.6

Hi Cathi. I love this post.
I love posing for the cam!
Sometimes, I feel I was a fashion model in my past life. Hehehehehe
I’m sure you had so much fun doing all those poses. I love your fake laugh pose, where are cathi’s eyes pose, and gone with the wind pose. And I love what you’re wearing in your let’s go shopping pose. It’s very much like me. I love all-white outfits topped with a colored sweatshirt/cardigan, preferably old-rose, or pastel.
Hmm…

I know it, Joey! Doesn’t it sound impossible!?!?! sheesh! Now you know why this operation was so critical!
Yes, brainteaser, posing for the cam is soooo much fun…however, I have a thing about not being alone in a picture. It gives me a complex or something. But I’m glad you enjoyed it! Picking out what to wear to those things is huge! Next stop…shoes!
June 20, 2008 at 1:30 am |
Cathi honey, FIRST stop is shoes. *tsk*tsk*
I LOVE dressing up. I’m so jealous!
June 20, 2008 at 1:35 am |
oh, I know, brandy…I went to buy shoes for the light blue dress…but I’m soooo not satisfied! ugh!
June 20, 2008 at 2:23 am |
My favorite is the black one with the red trim at the bottom. That one is HOTT!
Red spikey heels for that one. Mm hmm.
June 20, 2008 at 2:23 am |
I ♥ shoes
June 20, 2008 at 2:24 am |

June 20, 2008 at 2:25 am |

Okay, once again, I redid it even, and no comment with the amazing shoe links I sent you.
I’m not happy!
Did I go to spam?????
June 20, 2008 at 2:38 am |
If I did go to spam, check the both b/c I added a pair to my second attempt.
Ookay, for real, going. AND taking my shoe shopping meds.
June 20, 2008 at 2:39 am |

June 20, 2008 at 2:39 am |
what’s two more for hostile comment takeover…
June 20, 2008 at 2:39 am |
status??
Mission complete.
June 20, 2008 at 2:40 am |
wow that’s a lot of me.
I’m sorry.
June 20, 2008 at 2:58 am |
brandy is really liking her new avatar now isnt she???
June 20, 2008 at 3:00 am |
ok. first.
that blue looks stunning on you. or you look stunning in that blue. yes, that’s it. the last one. right.
the fake laugh pic is my fave.
the all black dress, imo, looks best on you. i would so date you. oh yeah. you know it!
June 20, 2008 at 3:36 am |
The last one is my favorite because it is something I could join in on…heck yeah…I come home in October…Starbucks and shopping. Hello. Are you game?
June 20, 2008 at 7:46 am |
klassy, professor!
June 20, 2008 at 7:47 am |
you know. your fake laugh poses are my favorite! why is that????
June 20, 2008 at 9:14 am |
I rescued you from the spam monster, brandy!!! I feel like a real super hero now!!!
So bran, those shoes are aahhhhh-mazing! I have ones like the the ones you chose for the black dress…I’m sooooo up for the silver ‘one-for-all’ pair! The only problem is that 2 of my 800 weddings is outside…I’m thinking I need you to find me some cute flats now!! Ok, my personal shoe-shopper…on your marks…get set…
Tam, but wouldn’t you do the same thing if you had the cutest hair in the world? I would. I really, really would! People I don’t even know would get hostile blog take overs…oh wait. uh. never mind. But I like the blue one the best too…it’s just really short, so I’ll have to make sure it’ flies well w/ the slice. We’ll see once he gets home. And the imo black dress…that’s my “pinky up” dress. And brandy’s choice of shoes for that one was sooo perfect! So, for this date proposition…I think Mark would get jealous, but sure!
Kristi! If that’s what makes you sing, glory girlfriend, I’d even wear sweats!!! Where will you be in October? I’m soooo in!
Mandy Mac! Let’s just pray none of my students show up to any of these here weddings…they have issues w/ separating roles…but w/ 800 weddings, I don’t think the odds are in my favor!
But overall, YESSS!!! FAKE LAUGHING PICTURES ARE THE BEST EVER!!! No one takes a bad fake laughing picture. It’s like the picture genie!!! Do it! Seriously – you won’t be disappointed!
June 20, 2008 at 9:14 am |
I like “Where are Cathi’s eyes” pose.
Very funny.
June 20, 2008 at 9:16 am |
HA! Cindy…you know, most of my pics turn out like that unless I consciously think about opening my eyes wider! The school photographers used to HATE it! The other kids would get yelled at b/c of their posture…and me…my eyes! UGH!
June 20, 2008 at 10:50 am |
Girl, you can wear heels to an outside wedding. uh huh. Promise.
TAMMY.
That’s okay. I forgive you. You’re just jealous b/c my picture is in color.
June 20, 2008 at 10:51 am |
Oh yeah, and Cathi, I am soooo going to look for flats anyway, b/c well, shoe shopping is shoe shopping!
June 20, 2008 at 10:52 am |
You’re so beautiful!!
What fun – are you ALWAYS so exuberant – joyously unrestrained and enthusiastic?!!
Black dress with red heels sounds fabulous. Go for it!
June 20, 2008 at 12:25 pm |
I am feeling like I have a tad bit too much testosterone for this post, BUT… I am never one to shy away from sharing my opinion:
The black dress definitely looks great, and will probably be usable at all 800 weddings. Everything else to me seemed like they would only work for a couple hundred weddings, but never 800. SO it’s a clear-cut decision for me. Besides, black is always chic.
Ok, I am feeling rather strange now… just dont tell anyone I comented on a fashion post, it will ruin my whole tough image… lol (quit laughing tam)
June 20, 2008 at 1:20 pm |
Love the black and white pics! You guys are adorable.
June 20, 2008 at 2:33 pm |
Ok, this is way off topic, but only in Cathi’s world can I get away with it….What the heck is the lip shaking smile thing supposed to be??????
June 20, 2008 at 2:34 pm |
It looks like a smiley with a really bad lip twitch.
June 20, 2008 at 11:41 pm |
OH brandy…I’m glad you’re you! I’m thinking the my red heels will most definitely go well w/ the black dress! I’m still in need of the flats though…the wedding mark’s doing next week is in an almond orchard…I’m way too klutzy on my own, but bring in a few loose branches, and I’ll be flat on my face in no time!
MICHELLE!!! I sooooo loved the description “joyously unrestrained”!!! Can I put that on my resume???? thanks for the vote on the black dress…I do feel quite posh in it! It’s a definite “up do” dress…oh, this is so much fun!
Mr. Mocha!!! thanks for being strong and confident enough in your masculinity to comment on this post! I love having your opinion. It’s very logical and witty! We’ll definitely go w/ the chic for at least 500 of the 800. Thanks for your input!!!
Awww, musing, thanks for the compliment! I just love black and white pics…I’m definitely NOT a photographer, but they make me feel a little bit more like one than the old school disposables, now don’t they!
Miss Tawny, please, always feel free to discuss anything here on me.com…we’re not shy at all! Now, the lip shaking smile thing is a subjective smiley face that is completely relative to whatever opinion the author chooses…witty, sarcastic, funny, laughter, skeptic, break of tension/comic relief, or a clever tool to use after making a off-color comment just to make it seem less hurtful…sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But that’s just MY little bit of an opinion…but don’t leave it to me, ask someone who uses it…like little miss brandy!!! I stick to the old faithfuls
June 21, 2008 at 6:44 am |
Mostly in Kansas…but I can be where I need to be, to be near you…duh!
June 21, 2008 at 10:11 am |
who’s in kansas?? I always considered the place fictional…kind of like kalamazoo and somewhere over the rainbow!
June 22, 2008 at 6:10 pm |
Mocha! Hahahaha!!! No man card for you!
well. which dress did you choose stegall? or did i miss that.
June 22, 2008 at 11:01 pm |
you all are nuts on this thing!!!!
June 23, 2008 at 5:07 pm |
just have to tell you, “or a clever tool to use after making a off-color comment just to make it seem less hurtful” has got to be my favorite reason for the lip twitch.
June 23, 2008 at 6:28 pm |
Oh, but Tam, I give Mocha 3 man cards for his willingness to even make a comment on this post! And my slice too…even though he’s patronizing us…
And Tam…I’ve chosen all three…and I’ve added a few more to the mix. I’m wearing the blue one to the wedding this weekend, the strapless to the wedding in 3 weeks and the black one to yet another one…
Take it, tawny! The lip twitch is ALL YOURS!!!
June 23, 2008 at 8:54 pm |
hmmm – good point on the testosterone comments
all 3! I want posted pics of them all! Yes. Because big sis said so!
June 23, 2008 at 8:57 pm |
Deal!!!!
June 24, 2008 at 5:26 pm |
Gorgeous photos, Cathi
All the poses are runway-worthy! *snap snap!* Hehe ^.^
June 24, 2008 at 8:07 pm |
Thanks heather!!! I just love impromptu photo ops!!!!!!
July 2, 2008 at 10:45 am |
