With few exceptions, the weddings I’ve seen are frantic beehives right up until the moment guests start sitting. The immediate families are all sweaty as they sit down, frantically looking around the room to see if they forgot something. It’s one aspect of weddings that completely turns me off. (notable exceptions: Pat&Carita, my dad&Jan, and now Tim&Marnie).
On this wedding day, July 2nd, we strolled down for an opulent Ahwahnee brunch with the groom (why is it that “groom” and “doom” rhyme? They must share the same root word). Then I joined Tim and some best men on a quick hike partway up Upper Yosemite Falls. We kicked about, chatted… There was no hint whatsoever of the big event that was only a few hours away. As the time approached, everybody rolled their eyes and relucantly went to put on formal wear. The ceremony was hot and quick, then we spent all evening eating and drinking and carousing. It was brilliant, a completely suitable wedding for Tim & Marnie. Pity the Ahwahnee.
Except for the shots here, I didn’t take any pictures. It’s a shame because everything was stunningly beautiful. I’d apologize but, what the heck, people were paid to do that. I had other responsibilities.
