The Bride Wore Black

Those unfamiliar with the art of olive harvesting might not know that, in many places, the fruit is knocked from the tree on to large (say 12 x 6 metres and upward) plastic meshes that are layed on the ground around the tree. The moving of them from one trunk to the next often gives the impression of being a bad-natured commentary on the sacrament of matrimony.

(My word verification test below is "panties.")
