A few of you might have some questions, like, "Why are they all country themed?" "What if I live in Los Angeles?" "Why are there so many picture of isolated body parts?" and "When did this become a thing?" I can't answer your questions, because I think you just don't understand love in the time of Pinterest. But if you really don't want to recreate these exact photos, you can have your pictures taken at the beach, alongside some train tracks, or leaning against an old truck. <3
