A Wedding Frame of Mind...

Picture from HERE.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I'm trying to get myself in a wedding frame of mind. Not because I'm going to a wedding or having one of my own, but because I need to write a wedding-themed novella for By Grace's annual Brides and Bouquets anthology.

I have a general idea going. HOORAY!

I may even have characters! DOUBLE HOORAY!

But I need the right frame of mind to write this, and so far... MEH. So, I thought I'd look at funny wedding pictures. This one caught my fancy. Mebbe it will percolate in the back of my mind while I'm at work today.

I can always hope, right?
