Ya I like to read what kind of dress they had and how many bridesmaids. I like the casual pictures the best. It is nice o know what people are wearing and what is in. Very breezy fun to read story.

Hi amada,

You do have a unique hobby and one I enjoyed reading about. The picture you chose is just beautiful and serves to enhance your theme. As I read I could easily see you sitting there and pouring over the newspaper to satisfy your hobby. This story should do very well in the contest and I wish you loads of luck...blessings, chey

I also like to read about weddings, and your story put into words how I feel about people getting married. I just wish that the papers would visit the couples in the years to come to see if they are still married.

I think this is a great entry into this contest and I really enjoyed reading it. I found it very interesting how you look into these photographs and catch the small details that tell how about these couples. Well written, great job!

I like you r way of thinking Amada. All the best scenarios and then to come back to your own reality. Sigh, it is worth it, isn't it?

joyous semi grin << SEMI always requires a hyphen, SEMI-GRIN

as if a minuscule particle of dust crossed the air at that particular time and they caught it together; and that time became frozen in time. << Semi-colon is clumsy here... should be comma and written like this:

as if a minuscule particle of dust crossed the air at that particular time and they caught it together, THE MOMENT FROZEN IN TIME. << That said, the imagery in this line is marvelous!

Very good essay, interesting and generally well written, BUT you use waaayyyy too many semi-colons. Try to reword for more simplicity of statement, cutting their number by about 2/3. Use ;'s only where it HELPS to express the thought. In many cases here it just breaks the flow for the reader instead.

This was a very sweet story and very well presented. It is short but full of information. You have a very distincitve style of writing which appeals to me on many levels.

Thank you for sharing this and I wish you all the best in the contest

Quite an interesting hobby you have there! I like to look at the obituaries and compute the perecentages of those who were older than me and those who were younger. I feel it is a good day when the majority are older! You are evidently a people watcher, a dreamer, and obviously a writer. Well, in this piece you did a great job writing. The piece was smooth with a logical progression. You told a lot in this short essay. Well done!

Your story was well written, easily understood and what I consider a tribute to the photographers who wanted to "say" what you are seeing in the pictures. I do see a couple of things that I would change if it were my piece:


In list of reasons: Reunited at (eliminate after)
Parag. beginning: My eyes beam... - caught in one same (I thought that redundant).
