It’s better than one of my friend’s engagement shoots. I’m not sure if they weren’t comfortable in front of the camera or if she was directed to have her shoulders back to look better, or what. But every single picture she’s shared is very uncomfortable looking, because it looks like she is leaning back trying to get…

Uh oh, I feel like this might spur us into the infamous black and blue dress debate!

I think Primarkle actually look pretty forced here. I mean, they look great, but that engagement ring hand looks awkward in those shots. Sorry. Why are most engagement pics so dumb/dorky? How about showing the newly engaged laughing, goofing off, having fun, doing stuff they like doing instead of showing off robot…

They laugh a lot together — the eyes don’t lie.

I’m going with Winkle.

I think Winkle (Windsor/Markle) is a fun portmanteau.

“Candid,” right. Candid photos are the ones of you with your eyes half closed and your chin tucked down so you look like Jabba the Hut.

She always looks smart, though. 1950s/60s smart, but it works for her.

I was all about William in my pre teens but have totally switched to team Harry. But once the hair goes on both I will be team Megan!

He doesn’t, actually. Here’s his nephew’s birth certificate. His name will be similar on legal documents.

They look cute but why is she wearing a formal dress? They looked like they are dressed for two different events.

I’m the same age as Harry. As a child, I had such a crush on Prince William. I thought Harry was just so immature and goofy. Even in our early twenties, I was like, “OK, he’s kind of cute.” Some time in the mid to late twenties, it was like “Hold up!!! He’s the hot one.”

Deep inside, I’m super happy for them and for our future with them in it. But since right now these people exist purely for my own entertainment, let me criticize them in a way I would consider beneath me to do to real, breathing people. Here goes.

A relatively handsome man (once you factor in that burden of being half Charles... or is he) and a very attractive woman with vast wealth and the best photographers money can buy look fantastic in staged photos.

Fucking happiness, man. What assholes. Ugh.

Black and blue look amazing together (when done right) and stopped being verboten around the same time the old ladies who insisted on matching their shoes and purses kicked the bucket, and along with them those outdated rules.

I’ve got a thing for eye crinkles, so the close up shot is getting me.

I was 34 in 2007, you kids can all go to hell! To hell I tells ya! :)

Prachi! I ran against you at a cross country meet in college. You finished 6 spots ahead of me at the CMU invite in 2008. I love the internet!

I did this and it turns out I was a huge bitch obsessed with Battlestar Galactica.
