Village Wedding Revisited (37) - the Football


At a village wedding, life goes on around it. Here you see the bride and groom walking up the village to change their clothes for the main reception later. Ahead, a village dog, and on the right, a football is held steady. Outside the church village children play with the rose petal confetti and perhaps dream of the day when it will be their turn.

  1. I just read that in your area (especially in the Principauté) the average lifetime is the longest in the word after Japan! Your relaxing and beautiful photos are also a witness to this.
    (Italy is 5th in line). Have a nice weekend, Jully!!
