Weddings, even the simple ones, can be just wacky enough to create some choice storytelling moments. Here are a few of my favorite details from weddings.The couple decided (correctly) that it would be fun to have a photobooth at the reception so the guests could get silly and they (the couple) would end up with some great extra memories. So they researched rentals. The prices were just far too much for their budget. So the groom made his own! He built a booth, worked in a digital camera and printer and some other clever hardware and voila! Photobooth pictures for all! It was a terrific, fun touch to a beautiful celebration.
An outdoor wedding in a county park went off without a hitch. At least as far as the bride and groom knew! At the end of the day, the guests formed two lines and, in essence, a lane for the groom to carry the bride to their waiting classic Volkswagon Bug. The guests were all waving lit sparklers for a great, festive effect. The bride and groom drove away to much hootin' and a hollerin'. At which point some of the guests were at a loss as to how to dispose of the sparklers. In the trash they went. Moments later, the trashcan was engulfed in flames! Luckily, a moment after that, a park employee came by and extinguished the flames.
I've now shot no fewer than three weddings where it was a family wedding tradition to literally put a ball-and-chain around the groom's ankle. What a bunch of cut-ups!
