Default Photographers Guide to a Happy Marriage

Recently we have had a few threads on DPS that got me to thinking.

Here we have "dannyrich" sitting at a computer the day after wedding.
Thank You Card Stop in & help this poor soul out with his Thank You Card, so he can get on with his marriage!

Then we have "PnwGuy". If you haven't heard, he proposed to his loved one at sunset & posted a mighty fine picture of it here.
Sunset Proposal

Then I read this one today from "Matthew James Norman". It is a fantastic testament to knowing when enough is a enough.
Remember to leave your camera behind

So, I figured it was time to come up with guide for all of us men. Because, you know, we are clueless when it comes to women. A manual, so to speak, on how to maintain a marriage/relationship when you have this addiction we so lovingly call photography. Anyone can contribute to this thing, just keep it family friendly. So, ladies please let us know what your demands are. If you have an experience you would like to share, please do so. Others can learn from your failures....ahem, I mean mistakes. In order to keep it organized, please number your suggestions. I'll start this out.

1) Never run to your computer & start editing your wedding pictures the day after your wedding.(dannyrich)

2) Never shoot your wife in midday sun. The shadows are harsh & it ages her.

3) Never use the word "Shoot" when talking about photographing your wife. It makes the In-laws nervous.

4) When you buy a new piece of equipment, always buy your wife a new piece of jewelery of equal or greater value(Ladies are gonna love that one).

So what do you got? This will give PnwGuy a head start, & dannyrich....well, it may be to late for him, but we can try!! Just kidding there, Danny!!
