Wedding Today

Posted by Don (Spokane, United States) on 19 August 2012 in Lifestyle & Culture.

This is a picture of a wedding set up at Bozarth's Retreat center, a popular place for weddings. As I post this, the street by my house which is across from the Retreat Center is lined with dozens of cars. To have your wedding on these grounds or in the Cutter Mansion which is nearby requires signing up a long, long time in advance. I wanted a shot with all the people seated and the wedding underway, but I had to be gone for a couple of hours and when I returned the Center Piece had been nearly destroyed and was in tatters while the chairs had been reloaded on a truck. The wedding tonight is inside the mansion.

I like the anticipation in this photo of the scene all ready to receive guests. It's hard to guess what a photo of the full venue would have conveyed.

Glad!...you caught this exquisite image of the place of Wedding. Beautiful manicured grounds and perfectly framed, colors and all. How fleeting, the occasion was, from your description. Very interesting parallel.

Perhaps I'm old fashioned, I prefer weddings to be inside churches.
Weather looks good though.
