Over the years here I've learned that the words "wife" or "girlfriend" in post titles are really just code for "close-ups, no faces". I need to see the whole person, so I usually skip over those. I'm glad I took a chance on your pics. I love scenes like this - family and friends lounging around together with the women shoeless. Lovely.
Obviously, they knew what you were up to, which makes them even better. And I agree with an earlier comment, the shoes in the background in the first pic are like the cherry on top. I hope you enjoyed that evening. I would be inviting the cousin to visit more often. 🙂
