Wedding Shock
We’ll never forget that wedding in a Bournemouth
centre church five or six years ago while we were waiting for that
magic moment to photograph the arrival of the Bride and her proud
Dad escorting his lovely daughter to her Wedding Ceremony. As the
splendid white Rolls - Royce slowly approached the church entrance
and the chauffeur opened the rear door for the Bride and her Dad, a
loud voice was heard from within. “Where is it?” she yelled. “Where
have you put it?”
“Where the hell are my
beautiful flowers?” she continued . . . (We quickly sensed that
all was not well.) “I thought you had them with you dear. Aren’t
they on the front seat?” replied Dad. “Of course not” she ranted on
. . . “You silly old twit” (or words to that effect). “Isn’t that
just like you?” she continued vehemently. “You were carrying them
when we came down the ruddy stairs!”
“Oh dear” said Dad,
“Whatever are we going to do now?” – “I’ll show you what I’m going
to do!” screamed Sally. With that she grabbed the two-foot long
strip of plastic flowers from the rear window of the Rolls. She then
angrily exited the door the driver was holding open, stomping off
into the church clutching the plastic blooms with Father following
closely behind.
There we were, trying
to get that special photo of the Bride’s arrival at the church and
all we could see was Sally’s back disappearing into the church being
chased by her anxious Dad. We had to forget the shot at the porch
entrance, as we followed Dad and Sally into the church. “Do slow
down Sally! Be careful, - calm down!” said Dad. “Don’t you worry”
she replied as Dad reached out to try to help her. At that very
moment he must have inadvertently trodden on her long trailing
veil. Suddenly the whole lot came away, and with it her expensive
hairpiece plus her beautiful bejewelled tiara! Sally stood stark
still, frozen to the spot and so did we. Her 4 bridesmaids rushed to
her side to try to help.
“Oh Lord!” groaned Dad,
(but I fear there was no help coming from that quarter!) The
congregation having been asked to stand, all turned round, many in
eye-popping horror and disbelief as the Reverend rolled his eyes to
the ceiling and stopped the organ playing Here Comes The Bride.
“Please be seated for a
moment”, he said and ”peace be upon you all”.
When Sally was finally ready she left the plastic
flowers where she had dropped them, grabbed Dad’s arm and walked
down the aisle with a smile to the applause of her guests. The
ceremony then proceeded after one of the ushers had been asked to
retrieve the Bride’s real bouquet from her home on his motor-bike.
But all’s well that ends well and despite the
“blip” we got some super photographs of that wedding after the
Bride’s bouquet had been safely returned to her, the tears had dried
and she had forgiven her poor Dad.
