A Romantic Beach Wedding Depends on Your Perspective

I've taken the twins to the beach a couple of times recently. Since we live in Hawaii, it's a fairly easy thing to do.

Well, as easy as taking a pair of semi-potty-trained twin three-year olds anywhere is.

Which is to say, not all that easy, but not really worse than being at home with them all day either.

Anyways, while at the beach I observed no fewer than THREE wedding couples being photographed in all their finery. Right in the middle of all the swim-diaper wearing toddlers, boogie-boarding kids, and skirt-swimsuited moms.






I have to wonder: Do they just photo-shop all the extra people out? Do they shoot the picture super-close so that you can't see the woman in the bikini thong? Don't they feel... well...WEIRD standing there in full wedding regalia while a tatooed guy in a speedo dunks his shrieking kids in the surf?

I'm not the only one who's noticed this, by the way.

Now THAT'S romantic.
