Ferryland, Newfoundland: A Lighthouse, A Wedding & A SingSong

A lighthouse on a large hill is half-covered in fog. Several people, barely discernible, gather in a group around one another near the base of the lighthouse.

Hiking to the Ferryland Lighthouse in Newfoundland, we unexpectedly witnessed a wedding. Surrounded by fog, tide pools, and retirees singing Irish tunes, we couldn’t help but reflect on what makes a place sentimental. A moment of serendipity with my teens, as we discovered more than just a wedding.
