Along the Green Aisle

Even the last four years have brought about a difference in photography. When Thesha got married, there were digital cameras, but they weren't quite as ubiquitous or so many megapixels. I perhaps have access to half the pictures taken at the wedding and feel swamped. Nevertheless, bit by bit I'll try to wade through them and post them here and there on the WWW. Primarily for family, I think some of you regulars may appreciate a quick look too. In almost all cases, and certainly in today's batch, the photos were taken by others. All of these, for example, are from my Bro-IL, Treebeard who has some amazing photos posted on his Flickr site.

Today, I 'll show you the walk down the aisle, the green aisle. In this first photo, you can see where the wedding party collected for the traditional walk. It shows the lawn, which we call Bridgesward (or Bridge Sward)because there is the relic of a bridge if you were to point the camera the other way. The rabbi (not officially one yet) is the first to make the walk.

At thirty second intervals the rest of us followed. This is Thesha, my oldest.

Both Cuppa and I walked Althegal. This was very emotional for me, and there are a number of photos of me looking to the ground, but I managed to lift my head for a this one. Get a load of the funky vest and bowtie, will ya? I think it's been fifty years or more since I last wore one of those. Don't Cuppa and Althegal look smashing?

At the end of the walk, we both got a hug from the girl. Cuppa is about to get hers in the next photo, and I managed a smile while waiting for mine.

Then Puff came, escorted by her mother and sister.

Here, the two brides greet and are about to hug and kiss before being officially joined.

I'll try to keep the photos coming fairly regularly now that I've started because I know that a number of folk are getting anxious to see them.

The sun was shining making a perfect day even more perfect. By the way, green is my favourite colour!

And a good time was had by all. It looks like a lovely occasion on a perfect day.

I have officiated at a few of these outdoor occasions in my time.

I think you were late enough into the summer not to be waving off the black flies during the ceremony, a common northern hazard.
