Village Wedding Revisited (48) - the Buttonhole


Not everyone wore a buttonhole so presumably this gentleman is a family member.

'When I walk with you I feel as if I had a flower in my buttonhole'
- William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863)

Tomorrow...the last day of the wedding.

    The gentleman looks like Oscar de la Renta.

    So classy!

    I feel as if I've come to know them. I begin to recognize certain guests from one photograph to the next. I'll miss them. Perhaps next year they'll gather to celebrate the birth of a baby?

    J'aime bien la composition.... le dos de la dame aussi nu que le crâne du monsieur :-))

    Oh, Virginia beat me to it; I even looked up the correct spelling. Interesting that it's called a buttonhole.

    I used the English word - buttonhole. In French it is, as Virginia wrote, - boutonnière. Interesting that the word got to America but not to the UK!
