Before or After The Vows?

The guy's shirt makes this a very puzzling scene.  What's the story?

CLondon52w34: Fill the Frame

From the C.London website: "If you’re unsure of how to effectively capture a scene, it may be because there are many distracting elements or unnecessary empty bits. Try filling the frame with your intended subject. This isolates the subject and makes it very obvious to the viewer. Don’t be afraid to get really close, either. Be completely unapologetic about your attempt to fill the frame. Combine this technique with patterns for a really dynamic shot."

Honing in on a small portion of some large, spherical, metal sculptures lining the riverwalk in McHenry, IL. The spider web is a bonus I was unsure about being able to capture.
