21. Tying More Than The Knot
I was on a day trip to New Zealand's Bay of Islands and strolled around the hostel in the small town looking for a place to have lunch. It was midday, and a bachelorette party was in full swing: a group of women, one of whom was wearing a veil and a crown composed of oddly shaped objects, all smiling as they walked down the street. I find a restaurant, eat, and then leave. I see the bride-to-be blindfolded, tied to a lamppost, with the crown still on her head, on my walk back to the hostel. Her pals were nowhere to be found.
