Only seen beach weddings from a sticky beak point of view but they do look brilliant. Far more meaningful to my athiest point of view than any church/registrar weddings I've been to.

sand yes can be a bit yuk in the toes

it's that very fine sand thats like talcum that doesn't stick to you..it was nice between the toes and a bit feral too being dressed up and having your shoes off...

beach tip putting talcum on your feet at the beach makes the sand fall off,,great for little kids......(perhaps everyone knows that already)

It was such a special time !
