A Norwegian Wedding (insert wedding bells here)

As I was walking around the other day, out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of something happening across the street. I did a double take, yes that was a woman in a wedding dress drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette. This wasn't the first time I had run into folks in their wedding gear. I'll have to search around for those photos as a later date.

Rats...I didn't have our camera in hand. Quick give a call to Chris, hurry bring the camera to me. Fortunately, she made it in time. I was just able to get a shot of the wedding car and the couple before they sped off, presumably ready to head off to their honeymoon destination.

Cool car, a Citroen I believe. Also cool... a Norwegian tradition... putting a bouquet of flowers on the hood of the car. And throw in a couple of flags for good measure. I like the look and it gives you a feeling that they are proud to be Norwegians.



And here's the happy couple. Notice the coffee cups on the roof. That was my guess that they had already completed the ceremony. I mean what Bride in her right mind would risk drinking coffee in her wedding dress prior to the ceremony! Good luck to you both...Oh, yeah and I managed to take a classy photo with the garbage truck off to the right (the dang thing pulled up just as I was taking the photo).
