Well, these 2 are nearly unique in today's terms. Here they are, just pronounced, Man and Wife.

Yes, they kept themselves from dating and kissing EVEN EACH OTHER until married.

Now, that must be very unusual. Not even dating? Was this an old-fashioned arranged marriage where they didn't even meet each other until the wedding?

Do you think they are still keeping up their perfect record? :)

No, they are just both very conservative Evangelical Christians that don't believe in casual dating and never found anyone before that they though they would marry. I'm sure that their record is completely demolished by now!

Great vairety of shots guys; :)

Bakubo, you're a champion for such photos! Almost one from each nation on Earth...: ))

John, that's a great photo! :) Looks like the big brother's glasses suffered at the joints for the tight siege of the little sister. Both faces convey wonderful expresions of the reality of each sibling's utter ease and uneasiness in respect.

Yes, it is! :D And isn't that a wonder ?!

Cute girlfriends! There was a time my firends and would walk to primary school and back to our homes just like that; like a wall of unbreakable strenght and love against the brutality of the rest of the 'grown up' kingdom. : ) The idea of becoming an adult ourselves was far.. too far away,.... way back then!!

Love is all around us. On dpreview there are some guys who have a deep, abiding love for their gear...I mean camera gear. :) Below you can see someone who has a sublime look of pure, innocent, worshipful love for his gear.

I have to admit, I never walked to school like that with buddies. :)

"Oh, my Precious. I am so happy we finally came to Hawaii where it is just the two of us basking in each other's love. Lie down and I will rub sunscreen on your back, honey."

Henry, you can easily fool anyone by saying the last shot is from Egypt and that the person is a close relative of Anwar el-Sadat...

Henry- That is hilarious.. I hope he doesn't know that his 'love' has been immortalized. And I just realized... You said you try not to show people's faces in these kinds of shots... What if his stills camera sees him with a camcorder...There could be trouble :lol: :lol:

Yes, I thought he looked like Sadat. You know, I wonder if it might be him hiding out in Hawaii? Some people claim to have seen Elvis around here so maybe Sadat is here too. :) They may even be surfing buddies.

No, I am fine with showing people's faces.

I think you are on to something though. Cheating on your still camera with a video camera could get you into hot water. Or, maybe that is why he came to Hawaii. A good place to get away from family, friends, and co-workers for a ménage à trois with some foxes. :)
