This is a photo of last Saturday's wedding. More accurately, this is after the ceremony, during the ritual Trial by Photographer.
There is much I could write about wedding day dynamics, but I think that I have discovered a new universal law: as the wedding goes, so goes the marriage.
If everyone's reasonably chill and smiling, and the bride and groom have a half-fun time, I figure the marriage will last. If she is screaming at him before arriving at the reception, there's little hope. But if the bride can get through the inevitable stuff-ups with her smile intact, and the groom loses the wide-eyed what the hell have I done look, I figure they have a shot at it.
These two will be alright. She was calm and low-key. He was uptight because of his useless best man, but came through despite that. In fact, when I said goodbye, I think he stood a little taller in his patent oxfords. That augurs well.

You might have something here.
We got married in our living room with 2 friends, our 2 kids and one of their friends as witnesses. It was in Florida so the official was a Notary who happened to work in our office.
Our one friend baked us a wedding cake - 2 layers I think - it was a bit crooked because they went over a railroad crossing too fast.
If you can get past the cake; the kids outnumbering adults in the audience; you might make it.
That was 25 years ago. Just had to tell you.
If there's no fun and laughter at mishaps then what is the point? :)
25 years. Nice going, Don. Maybe wedding days are predictive.
Exxxxxxactly, Girl. No disasters, no stories.
40 this past march 8th...and to the same guy! xoxo
Yay! I love that you two have been together that long.
Congratulations.
