Posting Pictures of You and Your Lady

[AnastassiaAsh]

Wow, guys, you wouldn’t even believe how this thread clarified lots of things for me.

AJ, I have just had a revelation – ‘a sweet and friendly guy with a dog’ and a ‘handsome dandy dude with a beautiful hottie on the boat having time of his life’ is one and the same person and it is YOU!

And again (for the second time) your wife’s hair matches those reddish pinkish scorpions on the back of the bench in the restaurant, second picture. 

With the beard / mustash or without it, you are perfect both ways! 

And one last thing…you certainly don’t need Maxim magazine anymore (or whatever). Your wife beat them all. 


KenC – Wow! I have been waiting for your pictures for so long.  At laaaaast! Wonderful, you look much better there than on your avatar, even younger I would say. 

Ste – I think your best look is on picture 3, short hair cut! Almost like that French actor Jean Reno. ;-)

You guys and ladies look awesome, different than what I imagined before.

Yes, I agree, this is a beautiful and happy confirmation that THIS is worth it!

Thank you everybody SO MUCH for sharing.

Ok...

Here's a few that were posted in other threads.  I might find some new ones also. 

Not married yet - but engaged and all is going well!

I'm really glad to see people still posting photos.  We are all just a bunch of lucky guys.
I was in a Russian store yesterday, a store that actually made me feel like I was in Russia, and the owner gave my wife his card. He said I was lucky to be married to a RW. Well, he's correct. I thought Oksana would be interested in buying something from that store but she wasn't.  I just bought a beer pronounced Baltika. I recognized the bottle from drinking that same thing while I was in Russia. It was a number 6 Baltika, a dark beer, and I have to say, being an experienced traveler through Germany, that this was very good. It cost $2, which is much than what we know the price to be.

Oksana and I will be attending a wedding later this month. We shopped for dresses, but she decided on buying the fabric and making her own dress. The material she bought is quite flashy in my opinion. I will begin a thread on that subject. But, I will have some photos of her in that dress and will post them here.

Ste,

jb still has the age old problem with newbies posting advice to other newbies, that's called; "the blind leading the blind".

I'd just like to see guys wait until they have the tiniest bit of experience before they start to tell the rest of us how it is.

'Sway it is...

Sir, you will never agree with "experience." You just want to be correct. I've got the experience and I don't think you will ever agree with me.  But, I'm glad you posted some photos a ways back.

Nice shots Maxxum... especially liked the Dinner-Kiss... not because I'm some kind of freak, but, it just looks "happy together"... Not that the others don't... never mind... you look great together.

Ana!!
Thanks for all the kind words 


I just noticed this thread became a sticky..
I always though it was great to get to put faces to the names and stories we read here.

Good to hear you're still going strong!

As promised, here's the pic of my wife and the dress she made. Of course, in the pic, you can't see the details of the 1/8 inch loops she made with the strands of fabric she so carefully sewed. There's about 10 loops on the back with 5 strands of fabric. People at the wedding we went to couldn't believe she made her own dress. She didn't need a pattern. She created her own pattern from her mind on paper. What a talent she has.

Lovely picture Mark!

I'll have to remember to show this to Elena when she gets back. She's been eating up the compliments on her clothing and loves it when they ask where she bought it and how much it cost and she just tells them coyly "Oh not much, I made it".

Okay, the question:  Just how much is "too much legs?"  great photo!

[groovlstk]

I've wanted to share some photos for quite awhile but I never got around to doing it. I have some free time now as my wife is spending a week in Moscow, her first trip back since she arrived in the US last December. My dad passed away unexpectedly a month ago and she wanted to cancel her trip to be with me but I insisted she go, as she needed to see her own family.

I've received dozens of SMS messages since she arrived in Moscow and we talk daily. While she's happy to see her family and friends, Moscow seems much more dirty to her and full of unfriendly people. It's no longer "home" to her.

Here's my wife a few weeks after arriving. We spent a Saturday at Brighton Beach (it was 70 degrees in January!)

Like most Russian women, she always takes advantage of a good photo op:

Here we are together at the top of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. We were with another RWD member and her husband, both close friends:

When Simoni flew into town in June we kept him company at his hotel bar:

Although we had a very warm Winter, it seemed Spring would never arrive, but when it did we spent a lot of time outdoors:

My wife was married previously and we formally tied the knot in Vegas. We agreed to have a party for family and close friends in July. RWD's Todd and his beautiful wife joined us and afterwards we spent the evening at our apartment sipping wine and trading stories. Polina's mom also attended, and at 50 years old she is stunning. I don’t know if I was more embarrassed or pleased to see many of my male Italian relatives flirt with her!

No if's and or ahhhhh, yep, lots of butts.   Great photos Groov.   You are a lucky dude and I am sure she feels she is a pretty darn lucky gal too.  Hope she enjoys her visit.

great photos groov!
thanks for sharing them!

[KenC]

Groovster,
Beautiful woman and beautiful pics.  I would say you were a "lucky" man, but you deserve all the good you have found and "luck" had little to do with it.

Please accept my sincere condolances in the loss of your Father.

[Jet]

Very nice pics Groove, thanks for sharing!
That first trip back is always interesting to hear about 
Echoing KenC, I'm really very sorry to hear about your Dad, my condolences in this difficult time.

[catzenmouse]

The passing of anyone close to you is always a painful experience. Been there too many times. Our condolences to you and yours for your loss.

Great pictures Groov. Lovely lady! Glad to hear that things are working out well. It can be a long and crazy road but it is easy to see that the destination was well worth it!

Ken

[groovlstk]

Thanks for all the kind words and condolences.

I'm glad my dad got to meet my wife, they got along so well that whenever we were together they'd talk so much I couldn't get in a word edgewise!

It's been a long, crazy journey, sometimes I can't believe that I managed to walk through so many pitfalls and missteps and persevere until I found this perfect woman.

Just to add my point of view on the question of posting pictures on RWD...

Unless you have some genuine fear that friends or colleagues will somehow discover the pictures and then use them against you or discriminate against you because of them (seems a little irrational and paranoid to me, but I suppose it is possible), then I do not see any harm or bad taste in sharing your happiness with others who are in this process.

And furthermore, I think the pictures provide a motivational service to those of us in the beginning of our search.

It is one thing to read the trip reports and other posts about successes and finding love and happiness, and the stories are great, but to actually see the pictures of the couples together smiling and clearly happy takes the reality to a higher level.

I find the pictures to be uplifting and motivational because I can really see for myself that success is possible and this process can have a happy ending.

I hope members continue to post pictures of their wives and children because I think it is helpful to many of us to know that in addition to the many stories of disaster, mistakes, and failures, there are plenty of couples living a happy life after successfully finding love.

Hopefully one day I will be posting pictures of my beautiful family here.

Thanks for all the wonderful pictures!
