Bedouin Beach Wedding: Just the Two of Us Way Out on Ballston Beach
Monday, August 15, 2011 at 10:54PM 
Danielle and Tom constructed and decorated their own wedding arch which provided shelter way out on Ballston Beach, Truro. I could see the orange and pink scarves rustling in the wind as I hiked out to the spot they had chosen to exchange their nuptials. As I approached this beautiful couple, they joked about how far out on the beach they were. I was awed by the setting and their sweet sincerity and reassured them: "what's not to like about walking on the sands of Truro on a gorgeous July Day. "
The ceremony was like the two of them; light-heartedly sincere and that 'something' that happens, happened.
A touch of eternity, a drop of the Divine Ocean of Love, sprinkled the proceedings with pixie dust.

The tradition of giving candied almonds is traced back to Italy where it is said to bring good luck and fortune to the newlyweds.
Set the wedding near the rocks on the beach and line the aisle on each side with smaller stones and the ceremony will take on a very natural feel. In between the rows of stones, you might consider a natural runner. Mix a large amount of sand with food color, Kool-Aid, or other natural dying agent to create a runner in whatever color you choose. Just shovel the sand and lay it out as desired and you will be ready to make the long walk toward your intended.
