Today I hiked over 12 nonflat miles and participated in a SURPRISE wedding in the forest along the way. Each student picked a flower for the boquet. One was asked to be the ring bearer, two others as witnesses to sign the official document. And one of the other teachers acting as a Wedding Officiant. Once you're certified any public citizen who's an officiant can marry someone only once in the state of Alaska. I was the last second photographer. Toasts were given with sparkling grape juice, and a wreath of flowers was made along the way as the students did a free-write for class. The most laid-back, but beautiful wedding.
