PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR OPINION . . .
My ONLY sister is getting married to an OBVIOUSLY handsome Italian man in October. I have a little assignment that I'm so excited about. I'm making the Wedding Announcements, since she lives in Italy.
This is my favorite photo of Briana and Sem. I plan to use it as the main announcement photo, with a velum paper overlay, which will announce the big day. My question for you is . . .
Sepia or Color?
I like the classic look of sepia, it's timeless, really . . . but then, Briana has the most beautiful blue eyes. I mean, look at that perfect face and skin. She's not even wearing make-up! I know I'm going to bawl like a baby at her wedding, when I see how gorgeous she is.
Next, I want to include 4 candid shots, in a photo collage. Most people will never get the chance to meet Sem, because they aren't having a reception in the US. Because of this I think it's really a fun idea to have LOTS of photos included in the invite.
The first candid shot will be of the new family: Sem, Briana and Sem's little 4 year-old boy, Luca, they just haven't taken it yet. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite shots of adorable little Luca, my new nephew, just so you get the picture. This adorable boy will only enhance their announcement! 
Briana and I have to decide on 3 other photos. I've put these in order of my favorites, but let me know if you think any should or shouldn't be used . . . and WHY?!
Of course, Briana has the final decision, they're photos of her and her husband-to-be . . . So here they are:
#1: Happy Couple in the Orchard
#2: Say "Formaggio"
(That's Cheese, in Italian!)
This one is so cute, and they do spend a lot of time hiking around! I think it's the only one of Sem smiling, so I really love it.
#3: Kiss on the Beach
#4: Taking the Plunge
I really like this shot of Sem and Briana cliff diving!
#5: Grow Old Along With Me
#6: Stop Whispering in my EAR!!
#7: Cute Dimples and Her Man
#8: Briana being ADORED
#9: Doing Dishes Together
OK, so don't forget . . . should I do that first photo in Sepia or Color?
Which 3 candids should I include (with the one I didn't show you of Sem, Briana and Luca)?
HELP!!

Jenna and I both vote sepia.
J loves "cheese" and I vote for it and for the plunge. Fun photos!
Sepia, it is just so beautiful, and I like the kissing, plunge, and growing old together.
My favorites are 3 5 & 8. I also vote for sepia. Its too bad you can't put all the photos in, they are all wonderful.
I vote sepia too. I'm glad that you posted all the pictures on your blog, since you can't put all the photos on the invite. My favorites are 1, 2, & 7.
okay the votes might not be helping much since we are all picking different ones but here goes mine:
sepia
2,5,7
good luck
1,3,7 Good Luck making the announcement! Post it when you are finished. I like the sepia tone.
Cute work out ticker!
I love sepia, but you're right her eyes are beautiful. But since the others will be in color, I vote for sepia.
I like 5,7,8
..but I think any would work!
I vote for sepia as well. My favorites are 1, 5, and 7.
Sepia, all the way. And my favorite shots are #6 (if you could photo shop her eye open instead of winking at the camera) and #7.
First of all I say Color, especially if all of the other pictures will be in color. Plus ALL the Goold's have BEAUTIFUL blue eyes. And the three pictures I like the best are 2,5, and 7!! Mike hates kissy pictures on invitations so that is his input haha.
I like the sepia. I like things to look old fashioned. I like #7. I like the first of Luca. Good luck.
I never thought I would see the day Briana would get married. Ok I won't exactly see the day but I am so excited. I wish I could be there I miss her terribly. I am not a fan of sepia at all I am a black and white fan. But for a wedding anouncement I think the sepia would be a better choice than the color. I love the photo. I liked photos 3,5 and 7 for the other photos. There son is so cute what a joy to have another family member added. Good luck with everything.
how come only women like the sepia, definitely the color photo really can't stand taking color out of photos. Do we really want to live in the eastern block. photos #2, 6, 8 definitely got to go with Mike's opinion no kissy photos on an invitation disgusting.
Sepia
2, 5 and 7
Okay, which ones does Briana like best??? I like #7 the best, in color. I don't like your first choice the best. I hate Sepia. I also like #4 and #2. Aren't you glad I'm not doing the invitations???!! I cannot make decisions! Just send me the bill!!!I don't know which one of Luca. I like them all. I will love the invites - however you do them! You will do a great job.
Sepia and #'s 2, 5 and 7. Isn't having a sister get married the best? It's the second best thing to getting married yourself. xoxo
Boy, this is one wedding I wish I could attend. Italy, what a dream. For an announcement, I like Sepia and my favorites are #2,6&7.
Oh, you fabulous maid of honor you...the only problem being that you are far too biased in my favor and see your cute little sister in photos where I see indications of a serious sleep deficit...so, I'm sorry but courtship photos are out...I'm putting the whole lot of your italians on a strict regime of daily photo shoots and eight hours minimum of sleep a night until we get the perfect photos! Sem voted down all photos containing sunglasses, and I'm voting down all photos where the blue eyes have bags under them...so we're for sepia (although not with that photo) and that really only leaves 1,4, and 7...although you'll be getting a whole new slew of photos in the mail...thanks for doing this, you truely are amazing! can't wait to see the finished product.
And thanks for everyones input! (Paul and Micheal are just going to have to be grossed out...Kissing is what we do!!! I have to turn Sem's neck from behind with a clandestine hand to get a photo without a smooch)
