A French Wedding

My cousin's best friend Jérôme got married to his essentially already his wife Delphine yesterday (they already have two kids). It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding, even if it was unbearably hot during the day. The reception was at a vineyard in a château and the apéritif was in the garden outside. GORGEOUS. Definitely a good night.


Michel was the best man, and thus allowed people to take photos of him smiling. This made me incredibly happy.



Michel, my super awesome cousin walked with me back from the Marie all the way to Arnaud's, even though I had to take baby steps bc my feet wanted to fall off and though everyone else was SO far ahead of us. Finally he just had me take my shoes off. He even bought us cold drinks. :-) This photo particularly is amusing, as he took it because he was like "since you look so nice today, I'm taking a photo of you next to the trashcan."



Rémy standing at the Mayor's podium at the town hall. In France, it is obligatory that everyone get married at the town hall and then either go to the church or else opt out of it.

Furthermore, this would be Michel's flask that he brought. Thankfully no one had mono in the group or else everyone, including the groom, would be sick.



Exiting the Marie, poor couple had lavender EVERYWHERE.



The group of friends with the couple. First wedding I've ever been to where I've been a part of the close group of friends, even if it is because of my cousin. It felt really good to be included by all of them like that. Definitey a good time.

On a sidenote: I love this photo because of me and Michel as well.
