The Wedding Day

Chelsea and Martin's Wedding Alison Wood Photo 5

 

 Chelsea and Martin were married at the Basilica in Saint-Maximin. A picture perfect Provencal day greeted us.

 I decided not to take any photos of my daughter and my new son Martin's wedding day, instead, I had Sophie (Chelsea's friend) film it LIVE on Facebook.

I have not found the words to describe our experience.

The bride.

Thank you for sharing our joy and for being happy for us! The last few days have been some of the best days of our lives. I will write and share more, but at the moment I am soaking up being with my family and friends and reeling in the most beautiful wedding that I have ever seen.

    As you should!! Soak it all up and melt in the love of family. Glad you didn’t take pictures, this was your personal time for family and loved ones. Social media will be there when the dust has settled a bit! Family first for now. It’s okay. (Great picture of your mom and brothers in kitchen though) Beautiful bride. Enjoy!!

    Would love to see some photos posted here eventually as I cannot view it on Facebook. The church looks beautiful! Have fun with your family and friends! I never did catch whether the groom is French or not….I am assuming he is

    Thank you, I wanted to see your Mom!!!!
    You looked simply stunning, my Dear. Perfect in fact.
    You have a lovely figure, and this shape dress is just perfect for you. I wish you would put away the loose clothing, embrace your hour glass figure and always wear a version, of this dress. :-)))))))))))
    But that is your business of course…
    Love,
