I Don't Know Crap About Love
Let me explain this a bit more clearly. A few days ago I shot my friend Craigs' wedding. He and his new wife Jennie were so unbelievably cute and perfect for each other. For the first time in my life I was the wedding photographer plus limo driver. It was a new experience for me and I was glad to do it. They didn't really pay much attention to me in the front, I was busy keeping them happy with lovey songs as the car DJ on the way to the reception. It was rush hour and we got stuck in traffic and as I pretended I couldn't hear the sweet smacks of little kisses I remembered when they first started dating. On one occasion back then I asked Craig how things were going and he mentioned a few little bumps they had, nothing out of the ordinary when you start dating someone. Naturally, me being a friend I totally blew it out of proportion and was all like, "what?!" "no way?!" "dude....you shoule really....blah blah, I'd be freaking out!" It was something stupid, something synonymous with getting to know someone for the first time, but I was apparently filling the role of love slayer anyways. Craig being a smarter guy and much more patient naturally acted like he was thankful for my knee jerk advice and luckily ignored it. So as I drove down I-15 and brought up a conversation topic only to be met with silence because the two love birds in the backseat were apparently on a different planet, I kinda realized I am not nearly as smart as I think I am when it comes to love. So if I have ever given any of you love advice...I wouldn't strike it from your memory per say....just try hard to remember exactly what I told you, then do the complete opposite. Congrats Craig and Jennie, thanks for letting me wear a couple different hats on your wedding day. I am good with limo driver, photographer, even like gardner maybe...just probably shouldn't ever branch into marriage counseling.

I don't think any of us are as smart as we think we are when it comes to matters of the heart. Anyway, sometimes the knee-jerk reactions are exactly what I'm looking for. Love the pic.
I know the feeling ... I talk a good game but really I have no idea what I am saying - its taken me years to come to that conclusion. Ha ha ha ... sigh.
Hey mike this is jeff (wt1). don't sell your self short. we know a butt load about love. it may not be as much as we think but even if we know only a small portion of what we really think we know, then that has still got to be a very large amount.
