Piratecat, I *really* liked your use of the bride pic; you didn't get stuck on the title or what it was "obviously" about and did your own thang. I really, really loved the trip through the building, your PI sweating as he kept up the spell that let them have the right timing to breeze through the security. And of course you gotta love one-eyed Gramma.
The pics can be hard for me because I don't usually sit down and say "Hm, okay, let's make this one a flower girl and this one can be the guy's parents dying." Usually they just pop something in my brain and that's what they are, and it's very hard for me to shift tracks and deliberately (rather than intuitively) change them. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't.
(For example, when I looked at the woman in red pic for round #2, my brain went "Oh, that's a drag queen channelling Maitresse Erzuli." I don't know where I get these things, honest.)
