Okay, this is pretty special. You don't see this sort of thing just browsing up and down the aisles of your local Jewel Osco every day. But that's just what I did!
Let's start with the obvious. Your love is Beyond Words. But just the right size for framing! And it's clearly intended as a gift...for a wedding? Bar Mitzvah? I can't imagine anyone buying it for themselves. (Honey, I found this right there in the store- it's like they made it for US!) Besides, to keep a frame like this around is a pretty ballsy move. Are you trying to intimidate your friends? Are you that couple that doesn't need other friends? Well, with a few more purchases like this that may no longer be a pesky issue!
NOW. On to the happy couple. Oblivious Yarmulke Guy is pleased as punch to either be a) in Love or b) on a date with someone who is not quite feeling the Love. I don't believe I've ever seen an actual grimace before! Satin Pashmina Girl is pretty resolutely resigned to being with this guy. Maybe it's her prom? Maybe her mother set her up with a nice Jewish boy? Or perhaps she has seasonal allergies. Those are the worst.
I'm having a bit of trouble believing that this is the best example of Love Beyond Words that the framing company could find. Unless they were trying for irony. Or maybe, just maybe, the Words that their Love is Beyond are: prenuptial agreement. Oh no! Yarmulke Guy made his wife sign a prenup and she had to go along with it because, after all, he is a doctor and she has all those loans from Sarah Lawrence. But she doesn't have to be happy about it, and nothing he says or does can take away the memory of that artist with his rent-controlled loft in SoHo, the one without two nickels to rub together...Darn her pride!
But maybe some Words are better off left unspoken.

My guess here is that the woman who had the unenviable job of picking a photo for this goofy frame is exceedingly bitter and was irony-izing (ironizing?) the project. From the land of the exceedingly bitter, I approve. Well done, nameless lady!
My baby is a writer..sigh. x
This had me laughing so hard!
As a newlywed, you do know about Love Beyond Words.
Well done. Brilliant! Bravo!
