Was this a movie? Help me out here, someone. Parents of the groom set out on a 13K trip to an elaborate destination wedding starring their son as groom. They hit their marks and paid their fare through a week on foreign soil with three formal ceremonies and more beside, and the end result was, none of this ever happened, because they were excluded from all the grand gallery of photos, including the official portraits and even the Facebook and photographers' weblogs. So in essence they were never there, in fact, so all of this is just more ramblings of an old man in a dry season ...
This is a wedding party, in its entirety - minus one bridesmaid. She had to take the picture. This established the practice of screening the parents of the couple from the photo. It became such a settled regimen that sometimes they were ghosted even if they were there, so they were retroactively disinvited.

Our Front Gate
A moment to pause and think of nothing but the sun blessing the brush and the fence we built ourselves to keep out the Monkey Demons.
