There are always a couple highlights of a wedding for me. I don’t know what they will be beforehand, but there are usually things that are unexpected or delightful or particularly photogenic. There were a number at Bethany and Scott’s wedding.
Scott’s Groom-Daughter dance was something unlike I had ever seen before, precious and delightful in its completely unique way (it involved very few steps, but lots of head-rocking). When Bethany went to say her vows, and the musical group in the park started playing at the same moment, she took it in stride, gave the band a good “shush” (which didn’t work), the improvised with the clip-on mic. And I had a particularly good view for the reactions of Bethany and Scott as after they sipped the communion wine, which had unfortunately been heated to a toasty temperature from the sun. The first dance, with the sunset, was gorgeous. Though perhaps my favorite moment was a festive spontaneous applause from onlookers as Bethany and Scott walked toward the reception site, where food, and dancing, and family and friends awaited. A gallery of the wedding photographs is available here.
