Tree Drama

So its a couple of hours before the ceremony. My side of the family is standing under this big leafy tree watching the wedding party get photographed. All of a sudden, I hear a crashing in the branches, look up and there's this thick black thing coming straight at me. I thought for sure it was a black snake. I jumped back quicker than a (excuse the expression) poked toad. In fact I moved so fast and far, I nearly ended up in traffic. Turned out to be a big ole tree branch. If I hadn't moved when I did I would have probably been cold cocked. It's just as well I thought it was a snake, I doubt if my body would have jet propelled itself in reverse for a mere tree branch.

OMG didn't they check the branches before the ceremony?

Old trees crumble. A black rat snake wouldn't have bit you, but I wouldn't want one landing on me either.

They had stopped in a different location for the pictures.

I know in the scheme of things black snakes or our friends. But even if it didn't bite me it could stop my heart from proximity alone.

I'm just not a snake person.

I'm glad you're okay. A snake would've scared me more than a branch, too. ;)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Kelly. Yes, indeedy:)
