Okay, that's perhaps a little misleading ... since husband Randy an I got hitched (married) a whole lot of moons ago in Bryn Mawr, PA.

I'm on a short, personal painting trip to Charleston, South Carolina and this is my second piece of the trip -- created plein air at the spot the horse and carriages line up waiting for their passengers. Many a horse came and went ... but there was always a stand-in to inform my painting. What a wonderful day!
I added "Hitched" to the Animals, Birds and Wildlife gallery on my web site although it could also go in the Places section. Hopefully, you feel free to explore all.
More donkeys, horses, fountains, tree-lined vistas to come this week. I think one of the fountains at Waterfront Park is up next.
We're planning to eat at Sorghum and Salt tonight. The menu looks incredibly innovative ... another artist feeding an artist. My review of dinner will come tomorrow. (Just in case you want to know.)
Prior to this trip, I've only spent one afternoon in Charleston. It's an enchanting city and I'm looking forward to every moment spent here. Love the hospitality. Wading is allowed in the fountain I'm planning to paint. Right near it are rows of wooden swings and casually arranged outdoor seating areas for chatting. Hospitality is in full force.
