Lettre de Gilette

August 4
Gilette, France

Laila et Loic



Mr. & Mrs. Loic Comolli had their official French wedding today, two weeks after their U.S. ceremony.




Their French wedding took place here in this ancient village in the Alps above Nice, where Loic's ancestors have lived for centuries.





His Excellency, the Mayor of Gilette, performed the ceremony, with a great sense of dignity and pride.






The couple later toured the village, which is built, literally, out of the rock of the mountain, with olive trees and fig trees and tiny yards of flowers dotting the landscape.




An old castle sits atop Gilette.




The extremely proud mothers of the couple wore blue, which was the color for this wedding on the Meditteranean.



Me, I just want to disappear down one of these covered paths, into an old brick house, with a garden with olive and fig trees, a view of the valley, and a trunk of my favorite unread books...

Nice to read about the other wedding ceremonies and see the pix. Unfortunately I can only view the first picture of Laila and Loic - the others seem to not be displayable from this post. This happens periodically. -- Carole

This appears to be a Blogger bug. I will investigate. Sometimes, it may be a cacheing issue. Try reloading or refiring up your browser. Or come back later. Many of these problems are mysteries, sadly... :-(

I have reposted the photos, so hopefully they will be visible now!

Reposting fixed it! Yes, I've tried closing my browser and returning before, but it didn't fix the issue, which is why I mentioned it. Thanks for reposting - great pictures.
