Why would they have American girlfriends in photos taken in France?? The guys were traveling together. Even if they had girlfriends who flew halfway around the world for the ceremony, why would they be invited into the photo? That would be odd.
Please don’t assume that last night’s incident is anything more than some 20-somethings out on the town and in the wrong place at the wrong time.
They flew the moms to Paris and I thought they would have also flown in girlfriends and most women in their twenties want to be by their boyfriend’s side when he is getting worldwide press attention. They got to protect their status.
