So megan and Pete from the start wanted to put out a fake engagement pic which i personally am a big fan of. And even though they didn’t have the guts to send it out in the mail, they got some great feedback from their family.
Here is the pic… Enjoy:

scored engagement pic
And here is the email chain:
ORIGINAL EMAIL:
Guys,
I need your help. Can you let me know what you think of the attached engagement photo? We are thinking about using this as our engagement picture. Our goal is to capture our “active” spirits in the photo and we think this picture does just that.
Let me know what you all think.
Love you all!
Pete & Megan
COMMENTS
“You guys look great! Not your conventional engagement photo…quite refreshing and cute, though!” – Pete’s Sister in Law, Allison
“2 things that I like:
1) Pete is under center and not in shotgun. Shotgun would make him look timid.
2) Pete, not Megan is taking the snap… this shows that Pete is calling the signals in the relationship.” – Pete’s Brother Patrick
“#1 – I don’t like seeing one of my son’s hands on a girl’s behind like that.
#2 – I love Megan’s sweater
Couldn’t you just sit on the beach and take a picture?
Love, mom” – Pete’s Mom…followed by a phone call to Peter “Don’t you think you could do something a little more civilized?”
” I love it! Peter looks bound and determined, Megan looks like she is having some fun…Change “Scored” to “Oops!” then a happy face 
” – Pete’s Brother, Mike
“Nailed it!” – Pete’s Sister in Law, Stacey
“PERFECT!” – Megan’s Dad
“I think it looks great. Very sexual, sportsy and displays your environment and happy lifestyle.” – Megan’s Brother, Gabe
“Well, people are obviously going to know that Megan is not a center because of the way she’s hiking the ball… But as far as the picture goes… Love it. You guys are awesome. Can’t wait to see you guys take the plunge. ” -Friend, Davy Gillespie
“Best engagement photo ever.” -Friend, Brandon D
“I think it’s very cute, but I like the ones on the bike much better. I don’t know… it just seems more romantic and there’s not the question of “Where are Peter’s hands in this photo?”. But that’s just my two cents.” - Megan’s Sister, Brooke
FINAL EMAIL
Thanks for your input and for playing along . We decided to try for the most awkward picture and send it out just to our family. Well, we couldn’t go through with it so emailing was the next best thing. However, we thoroughly enjoyed all the “carefully crafted” comments.
