A Village Wedding - the Priest's Welcome


The civil ceremony is over, the guests having walked up the village to the church and now it's the time of the bride and her father. But first she is welcomed by the priest who will conduct the religious ceremony.

La cérémonie civile est terminée, les invités se dirigent à l'église vers le haut du village et c'est maintenant la séquence de la mariée et de son père. Mais d'abord, elle est accueillie par le prêtre qui va procéder à la cérémonie religieuse.
