Marriage à la Francais
Sunday, August 1st, 2010Yesterday, our courtyard proved a suitable back drop for wedding photos.
Jean-Philippe the groom is a local Chaudenaysian and the bride Subhashini, is from Mauritius.
They held their French civil law wedding here at la Mairie in Chaudenay, and will have a church wedding in Mauritius in two weeks time.
I was amused that the groom, bride and photographer arrived for the photos prior to the wedding ceremony.
Presumably the French don’t follow the superstition of the groom and bride not sighting each other on the day until they reach the altar!
Comme habitude, post the marriage ceremony, we were subjected to the traditional parade of cars blasting away on their horns!
