Sharon, the Potty Mouth, and Kevin, Mr. Sarcastic. Also, although it doesn't appear to be so, I am actually wearing a dress in this photo. It's just being covered by my monstrous bouquet. Seriously, I'm glad I carried it because it prepared me for the extra 30 pounds I'd be carrying around 5 years later.
