[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
(NB : I've added another version of the same photo in the WS : hope that it looks better, what do you think ?)

A Sicilian wedding : they have been living in Belgium since decades and are of course Belgians too (hence the frame with our Belgian colours that some of you don't like so much : sorry !), but they have kept their particular customs that I have been describing on TL (please, see below).

About this image : a bottle of champagne was opened to fill only 2 cups for the newly weds, then the bottle was shaken vigorously and there was first a light shower on the assistance and then this photo, after which the last drops were drunk straight from the bottle by our MannekenPis.

We were watching this wedding with Italians from Rome who enjoyed this tremendously and were as curious as I was, it was a bit like a movie with new events happening every minute - here is the succession of events (= follow the arrow, or watch separately here :)

1 - coming out of the church : guard of honour by the "demoiselles" ,
2 - the traditional shower of rice ,
3 - raising the cups of champagne and posing for the photo ,
4 - ... (this photo here comes in between),
5 - the end of the bottle (MannekenPis 2) ,
6 - (!!!!!!!!!!!!) drinking the last drops, straight from the bottle ,
7 - the symbolic freeing of 2 white doves.

Funny moment. Maybe he is already thinking about the post-nuptial night?

Regards!

Salut Catherine

A good sequence of events in this superb daily life scene. I bet Sicilians are good firemen! A superb decisive moment, catching the spraying champagne. Tfs!

Le beau moment et le groupe nombreux ou chacun a son role. En plus la compo est complete et rien ne derange. Le bon photographe sur une bonne place. Reaction habile. J'espere que tu as eu ton verre de champagne, chere Catherine. A bientot,

Branko

Hi Cath, good take of this dynamic moment. I like the various postures and expressions as they react to the champagne. those that are safe are smiling, those in danger looking, well, in danger, of having their fancy wedding clothes ruined. cheers, Steve

bonjour catherine
quel dommage de gaspiller du champagne de cette façon!!!!!
la scene est parfaitement saisie, j'aime bien le petit gars au costume blanc qui profite de la situation pour se coller a la mariée....

Ciao Caterina!! è una scena strairdinaria!! Ripresa nel momento culminante! E c'è di tutto: all'inizio sono attratta dal bambino nel centro, ma poi vedo lo sposo che beve, vedo la signora "elegante"(!) che cerca di salvarsi dalgli spruzzi! E a sinistra c'è un'altra signora che sta probabilmente gridando.
Magnifico!
Mi pare di averne viste parecchie di scene così dal vivo, in Italia!!

Bravissima

Livia
