I can't believe...

...it happened again! A short time ago, I posted some pictures and a musing about how I always seem to stumble upon a wedding party whenever I go on a picture outing. Well, yesterday was no exception. I got home from work happy that it was the weekend and happier that the weather was beautiful and mild. My wife was just as excited about the weather and suggested that we get out and enjoy what was left of the day. My wife and I are not really the planning type, so we just got dressed, got in the car, and hit the road to spontaneity.

Within a ten minute drive of where we live, there are two city parks. One is a park built more for play. It has basketball courts, tennis courts, a playground for kids, baseball diamonds, and a common area for barbecues. The other park is more of a recreation park. It has an open layout with trail for walking or jogging, there's an amphitheatre, and a pond. It's right next to a greenway nature trail. Here you'll find people walking their dogs, jogging, riding their bikes, sitting on benches reading books, or tossing the ball around. Whenever my wife and I go out with no set destination, we always come here first.

When we arrived and started walking the path around the pond, we saw a large gathering behind the amphitheatre. My wife wondered aloud what was going on and I couldn't say for sure. After walking arm in arm for a few minutes we get a little closer and was able to get a better look. Sure enough, we saw men in matching tuxedos and women in matching dresses which meant wedding party. I couldn't believe it. Apparently I put out some kind of energy that draws me to these events. Maybe it's a sign. I'll ponder all of that later. Moving on, it took me a while to get these shots because we showed up just in time for the actual photographer to take the wedding party shots. When they were done, the bride and groom went to take some separate pictures and I was able to steal some for myself. These were the ones that turned out good enough to post. How crazy is that!?

  1. Wow! Maybe it is a sign!

    I really do wish I had that luck. I've been wanting more experiences like that.

    These are great. I liked the first one, then I saw the last.

    You should ponder some more : )
