Behind The Awkwardness: Till Death…
February 8th, 2012
“Yes, this is my engagement picture. We thought it would be cute meaning ’til death do us part, but everyone thought it meant our love was already dead.”

Three things that have no place in an engagement portrait – (1) ball cap, (2) grave stone, and (3) chain link fence. Trifecta.
Exactly!!!
They’re dead, they don’t really care if someone takes a picture of their headstone.
No we aren’t dead! Thanks though
Maybe they had ‘grave’ concerns about the engagement.
You killed it with that one my friend… lol
I thought this was a “Till death do us part” and even considered they had purchased side by side burial plots to ensure this. (I think there are way too many people getting up there or that have passed in my family in recent years for me to think like this, lol!)
So are you still married? Just curious…
We called off the wedding
I bet he would have worn that cap at the altar.
I know of a family with the last name of Death. They live in the Toronto area, maybe you could go pose with one of their headstones too.
Sousabeer There are many examples of headstones next to ordinary life, freeways, strip malls, you name it.
So what did they photoshop the head stone or did they really go around to cemeteries looking for a head stone of someone with the last name Love?
Who puts a headstone next to a baseball diamond? I know the photo was staged, but why not stage it in a CEMETARY?!?
Borgess hospital in Kalamazoo, Mi has a next door cemetary. Yet another reason that I live an hour north.
In my town, we have cemeteries next to a school, a library, a park, a hotel, etc., so I can’t think of why a baseball field would be taboo.
Love never dies
Hmmm… I cute isn’t something that comes to mind when it comes to gravestones. Is it a prop, or some random stone they or the photographer knew about– that would make the photo even more disturbing…
My condolences. Should I bring a casserole?
Sure, as long as it’s in a regulation-sized dish.
And as long as it has the pre-approved serving utensil as well! And the proper lid.
Excellent! LOL!!!!
Win!
LOL!!!
Nope, just a compound bow.
Love was killed by said compound bow. Cupid’s that is.
