A Tuesday Take-me-back

Since my hair in our engagement pictures seems to be a comical topic of blog conversation lately, I decided to post other proofs that have never before been seen. I believe this will prove once and for all that Leesh and I are correct about the "bigness" of it. Maybe it did weigh tolerably on the big or tall side, but as I recall, it was better to have high than flat in '94. That being said, I stand firm in my position that my hair was not as big as the close up in 3rd photo makes it seem. Thanks again Leesh & Jen for your hard work that day. As for the polka dot tie, I can tell you the idea was all mine. Oh to be young again...





















Just had to add this one because it gives me a little giggle. Can't quite figure out what the photographer was trying to get out of us - am I dazed, frightened, what? Steve looks like he wants to ask if this is all a big joke. I do still adore his crooked smile but I have yet to forgive him for keeping my Keith Sweat cassette too long in high school.

Love the pics especailly the hair. I wonder if the big hair will ever come back in. Maybe when our kids are in high school????
So fun to see how everyone looked back in the day.
It makes me smile that you used to listen to Keith Sweat!

Okay, so to me that doesn't look THAT big! LOL I still love it. You guys look so cute together. I remember those days well. I also, love the Keith Sweat song. Oh, you are right to be young again.

Lyndee said...

Shoot, I forgot to mention the tie. You loved that tie and were so proud of it. If I remember correctly because it matched your blue outfit perfectly. lmao Also, that last one with the vest. I remember the vests well.

I think your hair is perfect for 94! So I heard a rumor that you were sooooo close to having book 4 in your hands a week early! Say what? I would love to hear your story...or maybe you should post about it...

Ah, young love. I Especially like the death grip you have on Steven's hand in the "dazed and confused" photo. Steven looks as if he could run off at a moments notice. I don't know much about Keith Sweat, seeing as how I was only 13. But if my memory serves me correctly, and it usually does, I recall my elder sisters having similar hair. The bigger the better, wasn't it? Thanks for posting those- I got my belly laugh for the day.

Oh I think your hair is so pretty! Very classy for "The Wasatch Front" as my brother Tom calls it. :)
You guys are one hot couple.
I really like Steve's Billy Idol "Whiplash Smile". I spent hours in the mirror trying to do that! :0

BIG HAIR IS A UTAH THING!!!! I was watching What Not to Wear and there was this girl from SLC on it, well they totally rag on how she does her hair (which was a BIG poofy mess haha) and makeup....since then I decided no more Utah hair! But your hair looks pretty in that picture...us Carpios are blessed with ALOT of thick hair... most of us curly (I did not get that gene)... So flaunt the big hair 'cause you know everyone else is jealous they didn't get the good hair gene!

You look like you graduated from Roy High or something! You were smok'in!

My senior picture, my bangs don't fit in the picture!! Whoaaa, it was like a huge wave!!!! I love big hair, it brings back fond memories. I especially remember feeling panicked when my hairspray was getting low!!!
