Happily Ever After!

The day dawned bright and sunny so we had a trip to the market and sandwich lunch before strolling along the side of the canal with the others to the Mairie. The ceremony was conducted by a friend of Frank and Stéphanie's so there were some nice personal touches. No one knew any reason why they shouldn't be married and the deed was done. Back to the garden for chat and a snack to keep us going until the meal in the evening. With the hotel only a couple of hundred metres up the road we were able to rest and watch some tennis on the telly.
84 of us sat down to a good meal with an eastern mediterranean slant. Left the resto at 2am to dance the night away. Well the "younger ones" did; we headed for the comfort of our bed at 4.30am. Still as the only representatives of the older generation, we more than did our bit!
31st May
Another sunny day and back to the house for more food, more chat and more music that lasted until the evening. I took refuge in the Ibis about 4pm and only emerged to join Christian, Stéphane, Doro, Christelle and for a Chinese meal which in all honesty I didn't really want.
