The first one looks like she is being forced to kiss a relative / inappropriate co-worker at the office party who has one too many drinks. It just looks awkward and very uncomfortable to look at. It wouldn't be one that I'd frame or post online. The second one looks romantic and she looks happy. Carrie has honestly got so frumpy over the years. I would like to know what her past self would think of her now even in aspects like her romantic life. Joel is like a downgrade from Pete so much.
I do wonder what Disney character she compares herself and Joel to being. The Rapunzel and Flynn thing was cringe for me at the time or cosplaying as her self insert book characters. We do see Shrek and Fiona but Carrie must see herself so diffrently.
For all we know, Joel is the love of her life and I do hope that they treat another well and respectfully, but I just keep seeeing them as a disaster. I think with Joel, I did think that he was a downgrade from her exes apperances but I thought he might be better suited personaility/ values than her exes. I don't see the appeal in Joel. He is disgusting and he is just vile personality wise and he seems to get worse. I think that the online attention he gets from Carrie has boosted his ego massively and he is trying so hard to be an infulencer. I couldn't imagine my wife doing a livesteam on the honeymoon (she isn't a social media person, but still). Joel seems to be becoming as entitled as Carrie and I can see it getting worse when baby comes.
I don't know if Disney do parent infulencers ect but I can see them really trying to be a Disneyinflencers. I can see all the Disney baby clothes and family costumes, and family trips to Disney. It is going to be terrible.
