Especially not when you have bought a new dress for a special occasion, spent time getting your hair done and a little over an hour plastering your face with make-up - checking and re-checking your make-up under natural and dimmed lighting, and going DIY on falsies.

It's a tragedy.

Fortunately, all is not lost. The bride has FINALLY received the pictures from her photographers and I received ONE shot of myself in my royal purple dress.

You WILL have to squint a little bit, but I assure you that it is worth it. After all, a few minutes of squinting won't cost you crow's feet (I think).
