A wedding in France

You just can’t beat a good location for a wedding, and a remote village top church in France makes a great one. That’s where Tim and Eglantine had chosen to get married this year.
Caroline, Liam and I flew down to via Munich to Marseille and then with a hire car on to the village of Sabran, which is 20min north of Avignon. It was a very small village on a hill with views out of the wooded countryside. We were all staying in a complex of self accommodation rooms and cottages on a hillside, with lots of steps. The wedding was on Saturday afternoon on the small and very pretty old church on the top of the hill. The 100 guests made the climb up through the village in time and nicely filled the small church. Liam was in good form but the long French ceremony eventually lost his interest, so I went out with him from time to time or stood at the back. Afterwards everyone mingled for photos and walked back to the reception. This was fun, with good food and some funny speeches and film shows of the wedding couple. Liam had a great time and was up most of the nigh laughing and amusing the guests. The next day all the guests were invited to a brunch by the river. This turned out to be more of an adventure, with the entire party and the food having to be transported over the river to the riverbank on the other side. It made quite a spectacular seen and surely something only the Kennaugh’s could pull off, which they did. On the Monday we said our goodbyes and set off for Saint-Remy de Provence, where we would spend the rest of the week in a holiday cottage.
