OH MY GOSH!
Thanks, kayak!!!!!!
The couple had attended the wedding of the bride's sister and while they were at the beach for that, they decided to get married themselves. So they asked the preacher if he could hang around for a little while, then the girl borrowed her sister's wedding dress after the first couple had changed into more casual clothes (it wasn't a big formal dress with a train but something much simpler). IIRC, they got married in the lobby of the hotel in front of a large window looking out on the ocean. The wedding write-up then went on to mention family members of the new couple ... including her dogs. I kid you not!
I really wish I had kept the article so I could quote it exactly. I laughed til I cried when I read it.
