Stories Collected While Living in France

French la Vie

The Wedding Invitation

Reves d'argile

 

Two American bloggers, Corey and Mimi met in France,

Both shared a love for the brocante,

Corey lived in France, Mimi lived in the USA,

Over a year ago a volcano changed Mimi's plans to return home,

The Match-Maker, Corey (that is me), introduced Mimi to Alain, and spun her magic wand,

Love bloomed,

and grew,

and grew, 

and now….

You are invited

to

Mimi and Alain's Wedding,

Tomorrow,

at the City Hall,

Three O'clock in the Afternoon,

Reception to follow Seven in the evening, at Serena's.

I will be posting "live happy and joyous" details throughout tomorrrow with my iPhone.

Starting at nine tomorrow morning, many little snapshots and thoughts of the day.

Hope to see you here!

    Corey, I assume those photos are the “something blue” for the wedding 🙂
    Many of us likely won’t be up yet at 9 AM French time to check your first pre-wedding snapshots and posts — because that’ll be 3 AM EDT, and on the weekend, no less! — but I do look forward to seeing a whole passel of them by the time I arise late from my beauty’s sleep tomorrow.
    Best wishes to the couple! (And I’m so glad you won’t have to wear your cast to the wedding, as you’d feared, Corey).
