You may kiss your bride, As a waterfall roars, In the sunshine, On a cool, rocky shore, The mood in the air, Is light as feather, As a new husband and wife, Begin their life together. Written about Rock Island State Park in Rock Island, Tennessee.

Elope in Tennessee
"A sweeping elevated vista overlooking lush rolling green pastures and farmland framed by dense, tree-covered hills stretching to the horizon. A winding rural road cuts through the valley below, while a dramatic billowing cumulus cloud rises above the ridgeline against a partly cloudy blue sky. Leafy tree branches frame the foreground of this serene Southern landscape, viewed from a hillside overlook along the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail.
