I was telling a story about the fact my family couldn't believe Rhett was willing to marry me because as my Dad put it, I'm a "giant". In the process, I told how Rhett and I are "puzzle bums". Being puzzle bums comes from our different proportions:
When we sit down, Rhett is taller because he has a long torso, and mine is squatty. But when we stand up my "giant" legs make me about 2" taller.
The fact I was taller met some irrational opposition in certain situations when we were dating/engaged, and we would laugh about it and say, or rather, I would say we fit together perfectly physically--just check out our bums...If I go on my toes a little, my booty fits in the small of his back, we fit together like a puzzle piece.
Our friend Molly took this picture and our expressions depict our feelings about the whole thing. I think it's hilarious and Rhett is just humoring us.
Molly usually uses this aspect of our relationship to differentiate us from her other friends. She said she was telling a story and used our names and her listener had to stop her and ask: "You're talking about the puzzle butt couple right?" Yes. We are the puzzle butts.
