The wedding

The wedding

Clara and Ben wanted a wedding nobody had to dress up for. Sixty people, a beach and a long table, in June, with three weeks' notice of the final numbers.

The place

A stretch of beach south of Comporta, a restaurant that lent us its kitchen and a pine wood behind the dunes for when the wind picked up. It did, at seven.

The day

Chairs went into the sand at noon and the ceremony started at six. Dinner was grilled fish at one table, the speeches happened between courses, and by nine nobody was wearing shoes.
