Tent On The Beach
Wedding Tent....
Everyone enjoying themselves....
Guest still wearing wedding attire....
We could see the tent from a distance, and thought it somewhat of an exaggeration for a beach shelter. My first thoughts were Cirque Du Soliel. A circus on the beach? It had been late afternoon when deciding to walk on the beach. We've learned to expect only a few folks at a favorite remote location, especially in late afternoon. We looked forward to a walk of solitude, with little commotion other than what might be caused by a few noisy seagulls or ocean waves pounding the beaches. This particular afternoon, it would not be the case. With camera in hand, I hurried toward the direction of the tent, my curiosity having gotten the best of me. Who was here, and what was going on? Ah...it didn't take but a moment to realize this was a setting for a wedding. From the looks of things, the marriage ceremony had taken place much earlier in the day. At some point nearly everyone had changed into beach attire, for crowds of guests still in a celebratory mood, were enjoying the sand, water and socializing. Not wishing to intrude, I took a few photos and left. I couldn't help myself and snapped a few shots of some wedding guest walking in the sand still wearing formal wedding attire. The lady in the blue dress was wearing some amazing shoes and seemed to be having no trouble walking in the sand. Hmmm...."to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." I do wish them well.click on photos....
