Whom God hath joined...

An odd title.     But why, oh master of slides?

Simple.  My first thought on seeing this series of slides was that it was a simple wedding series. (Some lucky sods will know of the picture of the bride from the 2009 calendar.) Two folk get married at the courthouse, and are photographed on their departre. However, the more I thought, the stranger the series became.

Fr'instance. Who gets married at midnight? OK, maybe not midnight, but it's dark enough to need the outside light on.  Possibly, they had to wait until midight, so that young Darlene 16th birthday done arrived.

Why are the bride and groom leaving separately?   There's a clue in the background, spotted by young Rolo. What I thought was a plate glass window in one of the doors, with a diagonal push-bar is in fact......

...a Guillotine  !
