Bruges, Belgium Wedding

Since we are attending a wedding today, perhaps we all should pour a glass of champagne to celebrate while we read!
We were in Bruges, Belgium on a beautiful, warm Saturday.  The town is  tremendously cute with a large town square.   Outside of one of the buildings  we came upon a bicycle delivery cart that was decorated  .
We inquired of someone standing nearby and she informed us that this was City Hall and that weddings were taking place inside, and that we would  probably  see couples come out every 15-20 minutes. 
She was waiting on her friend who in fact would be using the cart.   We asked the significance of the bicycle delivery cart.  She laughed and said, “He can’t afford a carriage”.
We were hooked and decided to wait for the happy couple to emerge.


They had a group of friends and family waiting,  and were immediately showered with rice and heart shaped confetti.   








They were obviously enjoying themselves.



The bride stopped  to  graciously  accept flowers from a number of children.   Not a child with flowers was ignored.   This little blond-headed girl was just precious!



The groom takes a little step-stool out of the carriage for her assistance in  entering.




The happy bride’s face glowed and she laughed with glee!




Another picture or two and they were ready to depart!





It may not have been a  golden carriage, but they loved it.    He tested his horn and off they rode, waving to everyone.



And hopefully  they will live
 Happily Every After!



Until next time,  Honey

Bruges Swans

 
 Saturday was a busy day in Bruges, with people scurrying about and  lunching at outdoor cafes,  while others  sat back to watch the boats on the canals float past  and the peaceful poise of the swans.

“The swan in the pool is singing, 
And up and down doth he steer,
And, singing  gently ever,   
 Dips under the water clear.”
                                                  …..Heinrich Hine
