Breaking the rules

Definitely breaking rules here – no abaya, no headscarf, public display of affection and just having a fun time at this reception! We were also standing directly under a mister because it was so very hot out there. I never had understood how useful they were until that evening.

Some nice man saw Tim taking a picture of me because I couldn’t figure out how to take a SP of both of us and offered to snap this with my cell phone.

Very nice portrait of a couple of infidels!! LOL! I first saw misters in Arizona and found them to be very effective. Voted.

Great portrait of the two of you, happily able to be yourselves!! I see others doing the same. That wouldn't be an alcoholic drink though, surely!
