Note: 2 Please see earlier postings  (here) and (here)

One to be really at peace
The true being of a soul
Tied in matrimonial bliss
To be as brave and bold

The whole wide world pleading
Opening up all its goodness
Two love-birds treading
On life’s offerings in fullness

Dainty bride brightly dressed
In all decorum sitting demurely
By the groom’s side manifests
A love pure and simple with dignity

The bridegroom smiling broadly
In anticipation and feeling entirely
Confident with added responsibility
To procreate a lineage of a family

      Thanks Brian,
      Traditional dressings nowadays take bold lines and colors. Fun to feast the eyes!

    The photos are gorgeous! And this made me smile, Hank. We just celebrated our youngest daughter's wedding a couple of weeks ago.

      Oh, that's wonderful Kim! Congrats to the young couple! Please convey our regards! I just can't imagine how very exciting it must have been for you too. For a loving Mom, a youngest daughter's Big Day is really special. The happiness and excitement would linger on for a long,long time! Thanks for sharing, Ma'am!

    How lovely. This pictures, for me, the opening scene of a recently read book set in Yemen--"The Woman Who Fell from the Sky." I highly recommend it, especially for those of us who want to learn more about Middle Eastern culture.

      Thanks Victoria. Will try and get hold of a copy. It'll be fun to know of other cultures, certainly! More so the Middle East is a mysterious blend of varied cultures of around the regions.

    How lovely, Hank. Your niece is beautiful and her husband certainly does look happy!
    The colours of the clothing are marvelous. North Americans could learn a lot about the colours of happiness.

    Your ultimate special design duplicated on each hors d'oeuvre (1 design regarding order). Although, marriages are stated in heaven however they finally happen on this planet.
