Do It Yourself
While looking back on the pictures from her wedding, my sister found an bizarre surprise. There were a bunch of family photos with unfamiliar faces mixed in.
She turned to her husband, puzzled, and asked him to identify these strangers. As it turns out, they were his distant relatives, whom he had invited at his mother’s insistence, despite having never met them before. They apparently managed to persuade the photographer to take their pictures.
But the real shocker came two weeks after the wedding. One audacious aunt had the gall to phone my sister and her husband, asking, “Have you seen your wedding proofs yet? I bet there are some great shots of us. We would love to have some copies”. She basically wanted free snaps of herself looking good.
My sister knew what to do. She responded, “Well, our photographer, John Smith, would be the one to call. Here’s his number. He’ll be delighted to take your order for prints”. Let’s just say we haven’t heard from that aunt since!
