Instant Wedding at Nevada Beach

My bride called on Thursday and asked if I had time Saturday morning to perform their wedding. I had another wedding in the afternoon, and her Beloved was not an early riser, so I suggested 11:00. We agreed. Their story was a beautiful one: They’d met forty years before through her uncle, who was his neighbor. They’d watched each other’s children grow up, and knew each other as friends.

They celebrated this ceremony hour decision with a pre-wedding dinner at one of the casinos the night before their wedding. There was a couple sitting next to them at the restaurant, and the two couples clicked immediately. Both men had worked in law enforcement: one in Sacramento, and one as a Texas Ranger. My bride and groom asked their new friends if they’d like to act as witnesses the following morning, and the other couple was thrilled.

It was great for my photographer and me that two couples arrived. It was such a joyful affair! My couple looked elegant and classy in perfect beach wedding fashion. Their colors were black and white and red; it doesn’t get classier than that. My bride and groom had been friends for forty years, and had helped each other as friends through some horribly hard times. Now they had new friends who would be their friends forever! We could tell!

Nevada Beach at eleven in the morning is stunning. The setting made the wedding elegant and bright. People were on the beach, but we were able to secure a vacant spot near the water. After the ceremony, which was beautiful, sunbathers all clapped and cheered for my couple. We felt wonderful! Love is a miracle, and that is my job. How blessed I am; my job revolves around the miracle of love.

Happiness to all!

Pamela Camille, Rev.
