Witty and unconventional, a wedding party devoid of the traditional trappings of glamour and style. Possibly a picture that says a lot more about the couple outside the wedding day than many others. I hope this is not set up. Can't imagine what a bride and groom are doing at an urban bus stop---but it's an unusual place for the very common picture of the couple smooching.
