    I haven't been to a wedding since my own in 1983. Have no idea of such formalities (There were 5 ppl attending our wedding, which was done by a notary at the Unity on The Bay in Miami)

    OH Well, a learning experience I'm sure. Shrugs (Oh well…)

    An assumption on my part - I was told to get this linen outfit for the wedding.

    My grandson is partial to blue (He got that gene from me no doubt). Blue Cool
    So, someone decided this - had to be one of the women in charge.

    Have you ever known a man (outside of a gay wedding) who had a say in what went down?     blank stare @ you

    My best wishes to the young couple, however I have to say (and I am sorry in advance) the white outfit looks like it belongs in a hospital setting. Has the bride actually seen it on you?

    It does. The Guayabera shirt, the 'tropical business suit' from Cuba is still here in South Florida, tho this is the first time I've experienced a long-sleeve version. But back in the '90s when I was a nursing assistant doing home care, I wore white pants and a short-sleeve Guyabera because it had those large pockets and pretty much looked like a lab coat.

    I hope your grandson and new granddaughter got their new life together off to a great start. And that not too many people were asking, "Who's the "white" guy?" big grin

    Well, it turned out to be a beautiful day. The wedding started almost an hour late because of the traffic jam (no one anticipated Spring Break Weekend at Fort Lauderdale Beach). I was concerned the wedding would start without us, stuck in traffic at an up drawbridge so I called my grandson and he was stuck somewhere in the same group of cars. So, you ain't late to a wedding if the groom's not there. Poor bride standing alone at the alter wondering ...

    Anyhow, we eventually all got there and the cute couple got hitched. Oh, Opa took some pics.

    Shale, Ah I do like the white and blue, I figured that was what you needed , was a splash of color.

    I've told both my grandsons that I am content being a mediocre grandfather - don't need to be great.

    Obviously I am not some fashionista, but I was really impressed by the bridal attire. I have this affinity for blue and the blue trim on white really looked dynamic to me on the bride and the groom. Blue sky and blue water made a perfect backdrop.

    Alan Smithee wrote:(the black shoes)

    Are History.

    The 'pleather' top finally split when my foot crimped while kneeling for fotos. BTW, those shoes are a year older than the groom. I bought them for his mother's wedding in 1990 and have worn them about half-a-dozen times (with a 3-piece suit) in the past 22 years.

    One thing I really liked about the ceremony was the mixing of the different sand together. Found it quite symbolic and appropriate for a beach wedding. Has anyone seen this particular ritual?

    Oh, my Shale! What stunning photos! Everyone looks great. Such a fantastic looking couple! I am happy you all had a great day.

    The photo you posted of the sand ritual was beautiful. I have seen it done before with a couple who already had children and got married. The kids were part of the sand ritual and while it got messy, it was pretty cool.

    BTW, I was actually a part of the wedding, just didn't get into any pics. My brother-in-law Eddie got this pic of me shadowing the real fotografo.
