TRADCATKNIGHT: Signs of the Times: Fort Myers women stage "tree wedding" in Snell Park
Karen Cooper was ready to go out on a limb to save her beloved, so she got married ... to a tree. Specifically, the giant ficus that has shaded Snell Family Park in Fort Myers for more than a century.
The tree became the center of a neighborhood controversy when city staff began discussing cutting it down last year. Cooper, who lives in the Valencia Terrace neighborhood that includes the tree's riverfront park, began mobilizing to save it, an effort that culminated with the waterfront nuptials Saturday, complete with flowers, music, a tree-decorated wedding cake and a canine ring-bearer named Little Bear.
