This girl and The Boy were unfortunate guests at a friends wedding recently where they literraly bit their lip for most part of the wedding.

This girl and The Boy were out headed to dinner when they passed a jeans shop along the way. Dr Denim, the sign outside read in mild neon lights; all round half naked models posed in jeans. Cuffed ones, ripped ones, wide shots of cute boy lazing on the beach, tight shot of low rise [...]
