I love the fact that very “public” events contain so many “private” moments.
Presumably, my photo captures the bride and her father, relishing a moment of mutual, wry amusement – one that looks like it verges on “complicity”. (If he is not her father, the bride already enjoys a close bond with the man who has just become her father-in-law)
They know exactly what just sparked their sly delight/mock disapproval.
Most others present would not have even noticed the particular, fleeting moment…and/or they would not have known precisely what was “the joke”.
One very likeable quality evident in many of the interactions between participants in this wedding ceremony/celebration: playfulness.
