Your EPics are stunning! !!! Your dresses are gorgeous and I really like to one with you posing in front of him (in front of the helicopter). and I love the vintage feel. 
anyway they are beyond pretty and wanted to let you know. (in case you didn't already LoL)

Re: *WishICould*
To be perfectly honest, you are ridiculously pretty. And my first thought was that I had seen the female candidates at OCS and you are TOO PRETTY to be a Marine! Haha, I obviously don't mean you CAN'T or SHOULDN'T, just that they should use you as a marketing tool by taking pics of you in uniform once you get through!!!
I agree with Calindi they should use you for marketing. And you would make the Female uniform DAMN Sexy.
[QUOTE]Haha, thanks Calindi! I definitely look more Marine appropriate without all that make-up, that's for sure, and when I'm making my goon face. I am so excited to see yours (your pics, not your goon face)! I've seen some amazing ones with Marine Os! Which reminds me, have you seen this? <a href="http://michellecrossblog.com/?p=1427" rel='nofollow'>http://michellecrossblog.com/?p=1427</a> While I'm sure we're all quite partial to our proposals, it's pretty darn cute. Shan, that's such a bummer! One of my besties from MN didn't like her wedding pics, so they did a redo a couple years later. Nothing wrong with getting some more pics taken!

Stan:
We took them in Oklahoma on Valentine's day last year. David decided 2 weeks before my trip out there he wanted E-Pics for our STDs. Found a photog but he didn't have a studio.. we found a couple locations (one being an abandoned train station) well it was a Sunday and I was driving back to MN the next day and the person who was suppose to let us in didn't show up... :( the guy there had to leave in 30 mins so thats all the time we had. We had to take them an hour from base and had a brand new puppy waiting in the car... right after having a major blow out with his parents. I cried off all my make up and the story goes on . Ending up being a bummer of a day but we got 2 or 3 we liked. Our time together is so limited we never were able to reschedule them. C'est la vie! I can't wait for our wedding pics. :)
We didn't have EPics, cause we weren't together, and I have to say that I hate most of our wedding pictures, Hubby hates having his picture taken so in almost all of his he has that Marine grimace on. Oh well, Yours are really beautiful!!
[QUOTE]Stan your Pics are stunning!!! I love them!!! and They should totally use you on recruiting posters!! I know I was late on this, but I finally looked at all of them and I was blown away!!! I'm really jealous!!

The Marine grimace is one reason I'm insistent on engagement photos, just to loosen him up a bit with our photographers! I'm praying for some good photos, but I'm thinking most will have to have him looking at me rather than the camera.
Stan.. I really want to get pictures done with my/soon to be our Dog.

<div>I was super worried about this, and all day I was saying, "Babe, I can't believe how chill you're being!" We got so lucky with the photographer we did, she was a military spouse, and knew just have to keep those crazy faces at bay.

I have so many pictures where my FI goes, "That's a nice picture!" and I say, "You look like you hate me!" And he responds, "I'm not supposed to smile in uniform." And I say, "Yeah, but you look like you're going to eat my head! You could at least look happy if not a big grin!!!"
