week 50...

On the 12th day of the 12th month in the 12th year of the twenty first century...

family and friends gathered on the windy beach 

to witness the marriage of our gorgeous niece - T.N. to her wonderful man - M.E.

I commemorate the moment with outstretched hand and red-edged book

and capture the spirit of the day on the beach...

one red covered, red edged book

on Camel Rock beach, Bermagui

one bride, one groom, 

four bridesmaids, four groomsmen, one flower girl, one page boy,
one happy crowd of family and friends

12.12.12

Curse on all laws but those which love has made!
Love, free as air at sight of human ties,
Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.

Alexander Pope
