[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife did this for me a couple of years ago, and I have to say she looked ravishing in them. However, as a gift, it was a little awkward. I helped her pick which ones would be the final touch ups and after that I wasn't quite sure what to do about it. She is mad at me actually for not being more excited about it, but I don't know when I would use it.  Where to display, etc.? She looks awesome though.[/quote]

PP here again, just to finish my thoughts on this as a gift: not a good one for a couple of reasons. 1) the thought behind the gift is amazing, but 2) the execution and aftermath can be dangerous.

In my case, there was a lot of build up and I was aware that it was happening so it is not like there was any element of surprise.  We got proofs to review first electronically in order to decide which ones we'd get prints of or final touch ups.  Wife and I spent hours looking at the proofs which was really cool because she looked super sexy.  However, by the time we got the CD with the final 10 or so photos, I felt like I had already seen them all (in fact there were a few I liked better that didn't make the final cut). But I didn't know what to do at that point.  It's not like I was surprised or seeing them for the first time, and it's not like we got prints or framed any them to display...where would we? Anyway, they do serve one purpose as it relates to my marriage...as a constant reminder to my wife that I didn't get excited about the final CD deliverable of the pictures even though we spent hours together looking at the proofs and even spent time together picking out what she'd wear to the shoot.

I'm the end. Not a good gift. But, yes, she did look awesome.

Sorry for the rambling rant DCUM, but this is actually a very sore topic in our marriage.  Run like the wind if your DW ever offers this "present."[/quote]

Actually it took you days to even look at the proofs and you looked at them while reading crap on your phone.  But whatever...[/quote]

IOW...
How dare you not be excited about a present that you in no way indicated you'd be interested in before I gave it to you!
