The blue accents in the tiara, gown, his vest, etc. undoubtedly have some historical meaning, not to us, but to them. It's THEIR country and THEIR lineage for which I'm sure they're as proud of as we are of our own.
The hand embroidered wrap is exquisite and undoubtedly has heraldic or historical meaning also. The veil is gorgeous and I think I see the French fleur de lis embroidered on it.
The bride is beautiful and carries the whole thing off with French sophistication and elegance, which Michelle could never accomplish.
We're so used to seeing the all the boobs-revealing, cookie-cutter bridal outfits on Bridezillas and other TV wedding shows that anything different or unusual becomes sinister and unattractive.
They make an attractive, happy couple, he's not bad, she's charming and friendly-looking, they're not communists for gawd's sake, and they contributed to the income of many of the country's needy artisans, dressmakers, florists and caterers.
Lighten up and be happy....vive l'amour and all that good stuff!
