Well here goes...

My hope is that by posting this I will find this couple.

It all began long ago and far away....

Actually, March 2003, Rome, Italy.

St. Peter's Square, next to one of the fountains.

I was on a trip with my girlfriends.

On this particular day we went to St, Peter's for the tour and the long arduous climb to the top of the dome.

When we came down and out into the "square" which is oval, we came across a group of tourist that were holding signs, one word each, Asking for some one's hand in marriage. Then we saw the couple, she was crying and definitely had said "yes". I took a number of photos, on the fly, none too perfect, but they may be the only recording of this event. If anyone sees this and knows the couple, who I think I remember were from Wisconsin?, please have them look and confirm that this is them....

I would love to forward more photos to them.......

Happy Days......

Sunday was a fun day.....
We attended a Baptism and party for a sweet little girl that belongs to friends of ours. Beautiful food, sweet decorations, friends freshly scrubbed and on their best behavior, all of it a pleasure.
These sweet moments are what make our lives interesting......
People do not always act this way.
In fact, if the truth be known, even on the day of the event it's been told that certain attendees decided to make it "all about them".
How sad.
So much goes into the planning and execution of these events that you would hope that so called adults would let their own personal "needs" take a backseat for the day.
But no.
Even Grandmother's can be the instigators of this behavior.
Strange how we start life out so sweet and innocent and over the years we seem to develop all of these strange and awkward behaviors in an effort to be noticed.
None of us are immune to this.....
I guess that is how young people become so rebellious to these so-called adults. They see the hypocrisy, and they can hardly tolerate it. Who can blame them?
Well,
I had a grand time...
I was able to take some fabulous photos of the baby, her mom and dad, and the attendees. It was a blast with my new camera body. Loved it!
So.....
Life goes on, one event after another, and we learn...
Hopefully.
