A True Love Story:

The other night in the pub our friend Sandrine mentioned she is going to France to attend the wedding of her parents. Right! Her parents! They have been together for 30 years, but have never tied the knot!.
Sandrine has kindly shared with us all the details so that i can share it with you all!

So this cute little love story goes like this…Jaqueline, 30 meets Jean-Marc, 24 (toy boy) at a fancy dress party in the south of France in 1979. Jean Marc was an indian, and Jaqueline was dressed as…Charlie Chaplin! 2 years later, Sandrine was born.

And now 30 years later, aged 60, and 54, they have finally decided to tie the knot this coming September. It will be a very discreet civil wedding with 2 official witnesses: Sandrine and her gran, Henriette, who at aged 80 has just returned from a cruise around Russia!! (more on that another time!) Unfortunately all of Sandrines other grand parents have now passed, making this a small but intimate affair.

The cutest part of this story has to be the fact that her Mum, visiting her fathers mother, and future inlaw has, on one knee and all, just asked her Grandma for the hand of her dad!!
Isn’t this unbelievable? Just proves its definitely never too late for a wedding.

A special thanks to Sandrine for sharing this story! Its real life and real people that inspire me most. Thanks honey!!

Simple.Meadow.Barefeet.

The meadow was too wicked to go barefeet, but it was their original plan!
“Simple. Meadow. We didn’t want anything to be contrived.”
Looks like they really stayed true to themselves. Simple but artistic.

She (Katie) is actress, photographer, singer/songwriter
He (Steve) is anti-war sailor, poet, lover.
“We both entered walking to “here comes the sun”. Our wedding song was “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” Both dancers ourselves, we improvised the entire performance. The idea is that, no matter how many traditional words there are in a ceremony, it really gets down to your actions and how you roll in the moment so that’s what we wanted to portray through our ceremony. I gained a lot of inspiration from offbeat bride, blogs, and my own idealism. I spent hours pouring through photographer’s websites.”

Her greatest statement after her wedding to keep this wonderful feeling alive:
“This idea of wonder, magic, and super-stardom should be incorporated into every day to save and not starve that which makes us inside glow“. DAMN RIGHT! I love this wedding!
Thanks for sharing, Katie.
