What a great picture. You definitely get the sense that bride must pee fast before someone walks in on them. This image goes beyond the usual dance floor, cutting of the cake, ceremony. This is gritty and raunchiness of life. I love the way the bridesmaid has a cigarette in her mouth and she's also on the look out. Terrible if you ever have to use a porta potty, unimaginable to have to use it on your wedding day.
Great raw humor was exposed here ,told from inside the stall of a port-o-pot. This image was understated but very effective.
