I kinda commish'd myself for a wedding portrait of my husband and I on our wedding day pictures April 11th, 2009. Yes, before anyone says it: we are give each other a little hiney-squeezing. Hey- we are married: totally allowed! lol Anyway, it makes the portrait more unique, more "us", you know?

Why is it titled "No Way Out"?

"No Way Out" is a reference to how we feel about a true love marriage: unlike many other married couples these days, we do not subscribe to the idea that they have, that "if things don't work out, there's always divorce as an option".

NO SIR! We don't consider divorce an option. We will not give up or give in. We work our problems out. There is no way out of loving each other until death do we part. And when you enter a marriage with that kind of mentality, you are much more likely to achieve a happier marriage. We live in a real fairy tale, so we can attest that it pays to value marriage as more than a legal binding force between you and your spouse.

Enough of my preaching! lol
