The Finnish email scam that wasn't

[Cerbera LM]

That had to be strange, have been to small a wedding (16 people) but can’t imagine a non JP wedding with zero guests.

Hope you enjoyed...
...no wedding coordinator
...being anywhere, as long as it wasn’t between the priest and groom/bride
...no mother of the bride
...not having to get Uncle Clarence to stop taking pictures during formals
...that the flower girl/ring bearer was not crying
...no reception no drunks telling you that sure is a big camera
...that it took longer to download the CF card(s) then to sort candids
...spending more time driving to and from then shooting
while it lasted.

What gets me is why did they travel halfway around the world to get married in Coppell, if there was no family etc. reason to do so? Not to knock Coppell, but if it is the new wedding destination for affluent would be newlyweds, I didn't get the memo. Great work by the way!

Thanks.

They were taking a US tour. They only found 2 Finnish Lutheran Priests in the US that would marry them, and have it recognized legally in Finland with a minimum of red tape, and one was here. They flew to LA, drove to Coppell Via the Grand Canyon, and are on their way to Miami where they'll take a cruise.

Nice folks.
