I Mingled with the Happy Crowd. by ladymagpie

I Mingled with the Happy Crowd.

Tomorrow will be the end of my third year on 365, and I might have something special. Well today I have more of a story than the photograph I took, we've all done the wedding photograph, but this is something unusual.

On this occasion I had just nabbed a geocache at the back of a churchyard on a footbridge over a stream and was making my way back to my car. Coming round the side of the church I was confronted with a wedding party all milling around for the photo shoot and somehow I had to get through the throng to my car.

I was holding my trusty camera so I started shooting the happy couple, side walking like a crab through all these people until I was stopped in my tracks as someone took my arm and said, "Oh doesn't Jenny and Tom look beautiful", who the hell was Jenny and Tom I thought, but replied, "Love Jenny's dress, I never look like that good in white", well not geocaching in the countryside I said under my breath . I was trapped in conversation with the lady as she asked if she could have a copy of the couple and that she would give me her address at the reception dinner. I think I got away with it and at least I was wearing my wedding hat, if only my Lady-Magpies one.
he he!!!! She does look pretty.
