The Big Day

The Big Day was last Sunday for my son and his bride. Above is just a sample from the many photos I took. You can see one photo taken inside the church, with the bride and groom wearing crowns, symbolizing their 'king and queen of the household' roles. The best man and maid of honor hold candles behind the couple. The church where they were married is new and the inside walls are not yet covered with frescoes. Later on, in addition to regular live music, a gypsy band made an appearance at the reception, just after the newlywed couple shared their cake with the guests.

It was tons of fun, but we're all tired....

They look beautiful together and I really like the crown idea. The cake looks delish. But best of all, I like the gypsy band. Guess it's in my blood.

Oh, my eyes are tearing from looking at their loveliness. You did well Bibi by making me cry at a wedding I didn't even attend :)
A BEAUTIFUL bride, a handsome groom, and a grand celebration!

Best wishes to this beautiful couple -- Thank you so much for sharing the photos. It is wonderful to see how the special day evolves in other countries.

Now, how did you as mother of the groom manage to take such exquisite photos with your important role in that day?

Your son and his wife look like they just can't stop smiling. What a wonderful celebration this must have been—complete with gypsies. Good for you for getting busy with your camera—I'm sure they couldn't hire a pro whose shots would be any better than yours.
