MOB
This is what a Mother of the Bride is supposed to look like I assume. Uncomfortable, stressed and never look as good as the bride which my daughter looked like an angel. I on the other hand looked like crap. I needed a good stiff drink and some food which I missed which I paid for and some champagne which everyone else got but I missed and I paid for as well. What’s up with that? It was a lovely wedding but I wish I would have had time to enjoy it.
Last photo of me…I Promise!

Julie Langford
Wow – I think you look like an angel – so beautiful Susan, stunningly so
Susan Zohn replied
Julie, thank you and it’s so good to hear from you. I know I have been gone for so long but it’s so good to be back. Great to hear from you and again thanks for the comment on this awkward photo.

Susan, firstly…. this is an excellent capture… love the eyes and detail.
Secondly, I have done a couple of hundred weddings… and sadly, quite a few where the bride/parents are so stressed out that they don’t get to enjoy what should be a memorable day.
Susan Zohn replied
Oh, thank you for your kind words. This will probably be the best photo that comes out of the wedding of me. It is a stressful time and MOB’s get the worst of it I am afraid. I tired to enjoy and did enjoy it but I was also into the details as the MOB. I wish I could have done a photo shoot before the wedding with my daughter but you know how crazy things are. Thank you for your kind words. If you lived closer I would get you to take one of me less stressed. Thanks my friend and lovely to be back.

ummm…the picture speaks for itself…and unless I’m going blind…that’s one fine lady in this one…
Susan Zohn replied
You are too kind. I think I look stressed out and stiff but just wait until we get the proofs back from the wedding photographer. This will be the best one. haha. I looked terrible on the wedding day. Thank you again for making this middle aged woman feel pretty. Am I middle aged or old now? I don’t know. Hugs to you.
photosan
You may be middle-aged in age, but not in looks…that’s for sure….and…I will always believe that you’re as young as you feel…age really is a state of mind..unless, that is….one sits in a rocking chair everyday dreaming of sugar plums and candy kisses….you gotta go after it, no matter the age…
Susan Zohn replied
Well, I guess I will just have to go after it. Thank you for the great words of wisdom. I have missed you my dear friend.
Torfinn Johann...
Great capture as usual. Have faith.
Susan Zohn replied
Thank you Torfinn. Your words are kind.
photosan
To me…I think you have the look of a mother who’s dealing with the future of her daughter being elsewhere…I think I would at this point…especially when mom and daughter are so close…daddy’s little girl is going to college in the fall and I’m not the least bit excited about it…except for her…
Susan Zohn replied
Oh, then you understand. Besides my daughter getting married, Mom’s little boy is off to college as well, so it’s hard to see them leave isn’t it. We have to be happy for them but it’s hard. Maybe we need to start an empty nester photo group! haha.
photosan
Well..my son and daughter live with their mom,,only 30 minutes away, but our relationship has always and will always be very special…hmmm…the empty nester group…lol…not sure I could stand it…
Sharon Perrett
Another gorgeous photo, in a way you remind me of Celine Deon, such elegent beauty, would love to see one of you smiling though :)).
Susan Zohn replied
Sharon, you are way too kind. Celine Deon? Wow, I wish. Ok, I will have to take on of me smiling but that is when those wrinkles really show. haha. I can just use that good ole healing tool. I might give it a shot. Sorry for the pun. :))
frogster
Two words sum it up Susan, stunningly beautiful.
Susan Zohn replied
Larry, you are too kind. I know smile but that’s how I felt as the MOB. Tight. I felt like Steve Martin in Father of the Bride but I was Steve Martin…tight. This will most likely be the best shot because at the wedding I was frantic and it was not pretty. Thank you for saying I am beautiful. It makes my day. You are a great friend.
Larry Davis
Please, do not let this be that last image of you susan.
When friends like us live so far apart from each other, images like this keep the bond alive.
And as far as being past it ????
What a load of crap. You are gorgeous.
Susan Zohn replied
I would give you a big kiss or hug right now if I could my friend. I just might have to start a collection of me so when I am really old I can at least look back as to what I did look like. hehe. I feel more like a women now than I ever have. It’s wierd. Hmmm, maybe I need to go to the doctor. ;)
Charles Dobbs ...
Stunning in my honest opinion.
Susan Zohn replied
Charles, thank you. I wish I looked this good on the day of the wedding. Thank you and it’s good to see you my friend.
Mia1
Sorry, you missed on the food and wine. Now you can relax or are you still doing school.???? Hope all is okay. Take care. Have missed you. :o)
