I Do

Every time we have been in Europe, I have seen a bride and groom. Each and every time. The newlyweds have always been walking by us, having their photos taken.

A few days ago Joe said, "Hey Nanc! You haven't seen a bride this trip!" He was right. I hadn't!

Until yesterday.

We had gone for a long afternoon walk around Ile St. Louis and Ile de la Cite. We came across them in the little park behind Notre Dame. A group of school children were sitting on the benches under the trees and were hooting and hollering, egging the couple on. The kids wanted to see a kiss!

They got one, much to the delight of the crowd.


The bride and groom left the park and walked toward Pont de l'Archeveche. That was the way we were going! So naturally we just had to follow them.


There is something about seeing a bride and groom in public that brings so many smiles to so many faces. They sure brought a smile to mine.

  2. Those are 'lovers locks' and lots and lots of ribbons.
