Wedding in Sanary sur mer By PG Photography Wedding photographer France.

After much deliberation, Stéphanie and Paul decided to get married in the last week of August. Luck for them, the horrible weather of the previous weeks had finally cleared up and the sun had come out at last. The priest was slightly late in arriving for the ceremony and so the guests had were all waiting on the sea front where it was bizarre to see so many people with umbrellas, on the beach, on such a glorious day. Paul really should have metioned when we first met that his dad was an old colleague of mine who has now taken his reitrement. Luckily I had completely forgotten this as it surely who have made me a little stressed. The only worry that we had on the day was that the CD player in the church would not play the music that had been prepared for the cermony. Luckily I had brought my laptop with me and so the best man and myself franticly ran across the Port and into the town centre where my car was parked to collect it. Whilst running back to the church, at much the same pace, i was carrying the open laptop in my arms so that we could burn a new CD “En Route”.  At my age this task was quite taxing and I looked rather like Danny Glover in the film “L’arme Fatale”.

The evening got off to a great start in Pierrefeu at a superb venue which was previously unknown to me. I would recommend this venue to other couples as the prices were, for once, quite reasonable.

Stéphanie and Paul from Sanary sur mer

Where, when and how did you meet?

It was the 24th Novemeber 2007 in 113 Café during a drunken evening for Paul and a girls night out for me. He literally fell at my feet that night (hee hee hee) when he was walking over to come to talk to me!!!

One week later we met up again. Both my friends and his friends had advised us individually to play it cool.

Even so, Paul gave me his number perhaps because I didn’t want to give him mine. The next day, he came by to the shop where I was working at the time, under the pretext that he wanted to buy something (his smelly feet were the first thing to be put in the hall of shame!!!) but I reassured myself that he had not actually come to buy anything and that in fact he had come because he wanted to see me again. That evening we danced our first slow dance together and we have been together ever since.

Our first kiss was on the 4th of December in a shisha bar where we seemed to be the only two people in the world.

A few comments about Gretchen and Andrew’s wedding from their friends by PGPhotography wedding Photographer in Monaco

This post is gathering all the little messages that some of G & A’s friends did send me after the wedding from all over the United States I ‘ll call it an e-guestbook I do not know if it allready exists someplace on the web and if someone as ever seen this before, please let me know. But in the meantime let me dream i might have invented something

Gretchen, despite the most chaotic travel I’ve ever had in my life (how much do you think American luggage goes for on the streets of gay Paris?) I had the most fun I’ve ever had at a wedding. Love to you and Andrew!     -JON

Gretchen and Andrew, your wedding was beautiful and I am honored I was a part of it! I hope you have many happy years together! -JEAN

“I first met Andrew four years ago. At the time I felt quite a strong sense of curiosity because I was unsure how to welcome him. To me, my sister was a source of inspiration and love and I felt that not just any ordinary man could be worthy of her let alone handle her fire. However, as the years went on and I was able to see how he was around my family and I, and a strong sense of brotherly love developed. I consider Andrew a brother and I thank God that my sister was able to marry a man who is as loving as he.   -PETER

Andrew & Gretchen,
What a wedding! Thank you again for inviting me to be apart of the special occasion. I am honored and pleased to have been able to share your special day and to celebrate your marriage.
Your minister at the wedding referred to marriage as a lifelong commitment. And the most refreshing thing about you two is that you have made the process that goes with making that commitment seem so easy.
Since the days of the 12 Gardner Street apartment in Allston, the support and consideration that you always give each other reflects more about you than just love. Yes, mes amis, your commitment also reveals great intelligence….. because the smartest thing you have ever done was marry one another.
I wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness,
Love always, -RICKY
