A picture’s worth a thousand words
and I promised to tell you about the wedding.
It was such a happy day, and the weather was very kind to us. The biggest laughs came during the ceremony, when the mayor (the chap in the sash) read out extracts from the Marriage Acts which included a great deal about how to bring up the children of the marriage, and what to do if one of the partners was guilty of excessive spending: we’d had a battle to discourage Brigid from buying a new pair of jeans to be married in! Brigid had written the loveliest poem to Philip, which she read at the restaurant, and I read my French translation of it, the guests being of several nationalities. A guest contributed more poetry and the performance of a song specially composed by another friend was followed by a good old-fashioned singsong.
Wow – I am really impressed with your photo montage – did you do it in Paint?
No – Picassa I think.
Sounds like a ton of fun. Weddings are always so pretty.
thanx for sharing…looks and sounds like a beautiful day…
Sounds – and looks – wonderful.
That sounds a good wedding
I think poems written for occasions like weddings are so personal and really pull on my heart strings.And what could be better than a good old fashioned sing song to end the day 
Absolutely lovely — everyone looks so happy!! Great photo collage, ViV. <3

I hope they have a long and happy marriage. It got off to a great start. Look at the stories they will be able to tell for years to come.
hahaha you would think a marraige act could be written differently for old and young when it comes to children!!!
Oh how wonderful- congratulations all round.
Music, poetry, flowers, and The Marriage Acts…who could ask for more?
How lovely, Viv!
Great photos – it looks, and sounds, like it was a lovely occasion.
Oh yes you’re quite right, the photos tell it all.
It is always lovely to see photos of happy events.
