Under a Driftwood Arch
Under a Driftwood Arch
The sound of ocean waves
white plumes atop the bride’s hair
they hold hands
under a driftwood arch
crowned with sunflowers
abalone shells make a path
log benches flanking each side
one photographer zooms in
another, a few feet behind
red beard with blue shirt smiles
sandwiched between a brown derby hat and a marigold lei
her hand clasps a bouquet of succulents like a torch
and her tan matches his suit

Loved the scene and its recreation. The veil, the ocean, and then the photographers, like an intrusion.
In your comment on my blog post you referred to the colour, and it is here. Tan matching his suit. What if the suit matched her tan? Would it be different?

Thank you for your comment! I didn't know I had a comment here.
It was a pleasant surprise and made my day. It was rainy all day.
