Mother of the bride

A shot of my good pal Annette enjoying herself at her youngest daughter's wedding, an occasion of great happiness. The setting was spectacular, the sun shone and there was a smattering of sparkly snow. The Japanese groom and his immediate family wore kilts and embraced the Scottish culture of the bride. They also learned and performed the ceilidh dances with gusto. I haven't posted one of the bride and groom, leaving them to share their memories in due course, but there are some extra shots to give you the feel of the day.

I had had some sad news in the morning with the passing of my godmother during the night, so a day of contrasts. Such is life.
