Fate

        We were on vacation in North Florida. We stayed in a cabin at a state park for the first few days and then at a Bed & Breakfast for the last few days. As we were shopping at the park gift store, the clerk struck up a conversation. Her wedding was in a few days and it would be an 18 century theme. Authentic clothes were to be worn as with a traditional ceremony of that time period. Being videographers, we asked who was doing the video. They were not having video, just photography. As we continued our conversation, the clerk informed us that the owner of the Bed & Breakfast we were to stay in, is the officiant of her wedding. Now, was this just a mere coincidence or was it fate. Thinking it would be interesting to shoot and how we happened upon this store clerk that tied in with the Bed & Breakfast, we had little choice but to offer our services free of charge. The clerk agreed and lucky for us we had just enough equipment to pull it off. I do not ignore signs like this. Perhaps in the past I have, but now I believe everything happens for a reason and I must pay attention to the signs. Yes it's a small world and the one traffic light town we were in is even smaller but still, what are the odds. The wedding was held on the tree farm owned by the brides parents. Everyone was so nice and we had a great time. The owner of the Bed & Breakfast let us stay an extra night, free of charge, so we could shoot the video and not have to drive all night to get home. If you would like to see an edited version of what we gave them, here it is. I hope you enjoy it.
