I mentioned on another thread that my daughter was getting married and received some kind good wishes. The weather was appalling but we still had a great time. Here, with her permission, is a photo of the bride with her proud father:


Lovely picture Jeffrey, Congratulations to all involved  8)

Thank you very much Olivier. They chose, as music, the theme from 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (Elmer Bernstein).

Thank you all for the kind comments  :)
PD there were 12 people in attendance, including bride and groom, myself and wife, my wife's parents, Two friends of my daughter's and two of her new husband (with partners, one doing the video link to Canada (groom's parents and siblings) and many others following on Zoom). Also, there was sign-language interpreter as my daughter's close friend is deaf. A larger celebration, when my son-in-law's family from Canada can attend, is planned for the future.

Is that the groom in blue in the back to the left?

I'm so sorry that his Canadian parents and siblings couldn't come, but pleased to hear that you made the best of it!  Very pretty bridal dress (love the pop of red in the shoes), etc. 

Looks like she was going a bit of old school glam in her outfit  (rather 60's Jackie K but updated?).

No PD - that's the partner of one of her friends. I tried to post a nice photo that I took of the two of them in the pub but it was too big to post. I'll have another go in a minute.

OK - here goes:

All you have to do is make sure that you have your camera the right way up!  ;)

Vandermolem - your daughter looks absolutely radiant and you suitably chuffed.  In my own stupid head I am shocked(!) you don't look more like Miaskovsky because I look strikingly like the one on the left in my avatar.

Thank you PD. I also have to be careful not to take a photo of my thumb! Actually we went to two pubs - one after the ceremony and another one in the evening, although I don't want you to think that my daughter's wedding was a glorified 'pub crawl'  :o ;D

Haha - thank you for the nice comment about my daughter.
Well, like NYM, I used to have beard but my wife made me shave it off years ago  ::)
