You might have heard from Jeremy (the MC)that we had a wonderful son's wedding in Queesntown in March. Your versatility grows by the blog.....author, chauffeur, wine connoisseur, bon vivant, wedding planner.......whatever will be next...rugby tour director perhaps!! Hello Bruce

But of course it may well be quite different in these 'modern' days! I commented to a French guest what a beautiful sunny day it is for the wedding; he said we have a saying in French, if it rains the marriage will be a happy one. Voila!!

Where this fits in with the groom not seeing the bride's dress ahead of the ceremoney I know not...
