I have photographed a couple hundred weddings. I have seen a lot of strange ones. One couple did the cheapest wedding possible. They got married at the bride's parents house. It was a 1,000 sq ft house with the tiny living room - kitchen area. They opened the sliding glass door in the back yard and the bride stepped inside. They had Bennie-weenies for the finger food. One cupcake for the "wedding cake" and iced tea for the drinks.
The most bizarre was a couple from some African country that wanted to get married in a Presbyterian church. Not one single guest made it to the church on time for the wedding. NOT ONE. The guests were arriving as we were shooting the get in the car and drive away photos.
We drove to the reception at a local community center and guests arrived for 3 hours. Normally a wedding shoot is for just 3 hours. I was there for 6 hours. After 4 hours the bride & groom had a ceremony with the elders of the eating of the Kola nut. It must taste terrible because everyone made a horrible face as they tasted it. I shot a ton of pictures and made lots of money on that wedding.
