The Village Wedding - 16 - the mother of the bride


Could she be anyone but the mother of the bride? Here admiring a baby at the reception and doubtless listening to words like, 'you'll be a grandmother soon.' This is one of those scenes that could be seen in any town or village in the world, don't you think? Place, language - it doesn't matter.

    I do visit and I do comment and I was here. I did look at your picture(s) and I did read what you wrote about them. I could say how great you are and how beautiful your work is but alas I would soon run out of things to say on the next blog I visited, so I just left this to prove I stopped and said a few words on Sunday. Have fun now while you can.

    My Rheumatoid Arthritis hurts so I am using the same message for all.

  4. Oh would you look at those window boxes! The whole scene is so pretty.

    She must be the bride's mother. She looks so happy and pretty in her outfit.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog Jilly. I hope you're having a fabulous time in the States! :-)

  6. She is absolutely glowing. I don't have words to describe it, but I am sure many a mother in law can talk about that special occasion.

  7. Your photos are really great, Jilly, and I can see you are not cheating as I do: your photos have been taken in Menton, not in the US :-))

  8. Very beautiful dress they had. They looked like they are all very happy and why not. It is a wedding.

  10. You are right, Jilly! I recognize that sometimes also grown-ups can be the same anywhere around the world! You captured this really well!

  11. She can barely suppress her joy at having her daughter married off at last! She looks a picture. I bet that's the mother of the groom next to her (on the left).

  12. Marie, we don't think of it as cheating at all !
    That can be saved for your meeting with Butch Cassidy.

  13. As you say it's such a universal scene and a delightful one.

  16. She's also wearing a classic chiffon "mother-of-the-bride" dress! Thank goodness I have a son ;-)
