A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Here Comes the Bride..

.. Six hundred pixels wide!

I’m sure you’ll all join me in congratulating Anna and Lucas who tied the knot at a “Pirate Wedding” on the 20th of June, in Turnhout, Belgium..

Read on for some other romantical shots (photos by Thierry Van Dort) and more..

Awwwwww, how cute. She hasn’t lost a daughter though, she’s gained a son!

Note to Lucas – If you want a long and happy marriage, learn how to link to her IAM name correctly. kthx.

    To the point: Can someone on your end please learn how to resize photos? Not only are the images combined over 475KB/.5MB but they’re terribly distorted because of the poor compression job. Not to sound like I’m ragging on anyone, but an entire page of ModBlog could likely be fit into this same amount of data.

    Human.v2.0 – I’m not sure I understand, the images on ModBlog have always been resized/cropped and saved for posting in the same manner, with the same level of compression and quality.

    If you view the actual image it’s not distorted, it’s only distorted because it’s crammed into the page. 😮

    Roo, you should resize them to the actual size they will have when published, right now you’re resizing them with html/css, which results in crappy quality and wasted bandwidth.

    Plus, what about bringing back photos to the mail listing of the category? (http://news.bmezine.com/category/modblog/) just getting the titles of the posts is kind of a bummer

    xharekx33 – Oh, I see what you mean now – That’s a WordPress issue.. All images are resized to 600px wide and ***px height, not using CSS or HTML but that’s that actual size they’re saved as.

    thanx Roo, that’s definitely an improvement.

    I gotta say your posts were the only thing that kept me reading modblog when shannon left.

    Now bring back pics to the new category listing (and if possible comments number too) like in the old modblog and I will be a happy reader again

    I think modded weddings are more visually appealing than an “average” wedding.

    It would be cool to have a “couples” tag for photos. Couples and babies are the best.
