Monday Meme - Photos

I saw this meme over at Jo-Jo Loves to Read and thought it would be fun to play along.

I'm supposed to find my 5th photo file folder, then the 5th photo in that file. Then I just post that picture and tag 5 others to do the same.

Here's the 5th photo for me:


It's Darth Tater.

What? You don't know Darth Tater? Well, it seems that after the success of the Toy Story movies, the Mr. Potato Head toy had all kinds of new popularity. In addition to the basic facial expressions that can be added to the potato body, there were new characters, like a Mr. Potato Head version of Darth Vader.

During the summer of 2005, a couple of guys decided that the Darth Tater should be part of a wedding up in Minnesota. Of course, to do that, he would need a female counterpart. So, they got to work building one:

Here's the finished product:

These are also the first pictures I saw of the man who would be come my husband. My friend, the bride-to-be, sent out these pictures to some of her friends who were headed up to the wedding over the weekend. I had no idea that this time last year I would be in the final stages of planning a wedding to the guy in the blue shirt above. (And he had no idea that he was in the process of earning the nick-name "Tater.")

For this meme, I'm tagging:
What are your 5th photos?
