Ha! I was enjoying a friend's blog where she posts free images for use in altered books and collages. This image made me laugh and led me to wonder if the couple pictured here went through the same sorts of decisions, fun, frustrations, and stresses experienced in wedding planning of the 2010 variety. Where did they go from this point in their life? How many attended the wedding? Was it a wonderful party? Wouldn't a picnic in the woods seem appropriate? Did they ever see those wedding guests again? Was he a military officer? Did she have a career? Were they successful...healthy...happy? How many children did they have? Did the parents in the background worry about them? Did all those children gathered round them remember the event? Whose shoe is the little boy in front hiding? Did the dog act as ring bearer? Isn't it interesting to notice the distinct age groups shown?
Three weeks out from my first daughter's wedding, number two just off to college, and number three gone to football practice...life is returning to its somewhat normal routine. It gives me a chance to
think again. I'm cleaning house, finishing a painting, reading a book (The Fiery Cross by Gabaldon), and may do some filing and sorting...better hurry, because the county fair is next week! That's always several days of intense distraction. We'll do the sheep show again, and have a booth with the aerial photography. The show choir sings and works concessions for the grandstand shows (Creedence Clearwater Revisited, Rodney Atkins). And school starts in two weeks! Isn't it fun to escape for a bit with this Victorian painting?
