Culture

February 07, 2009

My cousin Sean shared his wedding from September 2003 DVD and I developed a few photos to put in my albums. The photographer did such a remarkable job of capturing the event that I felt I was actually there. Sean wore a kilt he had made from material shipped from Scotland and his wife Sarah wore a beautiful dress fashioned after the Scottish design.





I learned a little bit of culture in viewing these pictures which is one of the benefits of organizing photos from the past. Sean wore a white shirt and knee socks which the Scottish wear for weddings. My beloved aunt, his 'Gram', passed away last year in October, and Sean wore the traditional black shirt and dark knee socks.





The picture that brought tears to my eyes captured Sean's future in-laws in an embrace reflecting the joys of marriage. They had been married almost thirty years by the time the wedding occurred. My own beloved parents were married for 54 years before my daddy passed away in 2002. I selected this photo particularly since Valentine's Day is near and love floats in the air more at this time of the year.

Beautiful pictures, Jan, but I still think kilts are Scottish, not Irish. LOL Shannon
