the groom wore flip-flops

A couple of weekends ago we had the privilege of being invited to the wedding of a daughter of one of our Mendocino neighbors.  We've become pretty close to her since our buying the property, and she to us.  It truned out to be a full country/hippie wedding, with about 175 people attending, a huge tent, henna on the bride, a dance floor, and a prayer tent.   

As for food, the appetizers and side dishes were catered, and the rest contributed by the attendees.  Planned, not pot-luck, of course; think 30-plus humongous lasagnas, loads of  barbecued chicken and a steer hind quarter.  All of this outside, under the sun (and later) the stars and moon.

In any case, the couple getting married are two of the nicest people I know.  They made for an especially handsome couple, a fact not unoticed by everyone there.  But what caught my eye was the fact that the groom decided to wear flip-flops, and well, I just had to take a photo.
