And she looks as though she is not happy at all (surely a momentary sentiment) Yuck...not so nice to have sand in your clothes on a hot day.

Wonderful capture, Patricia. #1397310

Wonderful capture! But, OMG what a start to a wonderful life!!!!!! The groom was where--having a cold one! Life is so funny -- as a great photographer (teacher) once told me --always have your camera ready! You did! #9571848

Thank you all. Yes, she did not appear happy. When she did turn to look my way, she wasn't smiling. There were some wedding "guests" nearby. I asked them where her husband was. They told me he was in the parking lot loading the wedding chairs into the vehicle. Still, I think he or others should have handled this arch! And Sharon, I agree with your teacher. I was telling my husband that very thing yesterday. I said you never know what you'll come across and I was so happy to have had my camera when I saw this scene. I went running along with her so I could continue snapping away. :-) #9572055

Gone is old-fashioned chivalry.
How sad that no one... even strangers... offered to help.
And her "guests"... Shame on them!

This picture says a thousand words.
