Good morning all.

We will leave the musical theme for now. Here is a picture of an event that I stumbled across many years ago.

Who are these people and what are they doing?

Morning Don,

Well it looks as though it might be a Funeral - maybe a State Funeral?? But I haven't the foggiest idea whose. Will have another think about it.

Anyone else recognise it? :wave2:

Havent got a clue either...

Japanese Bridal Couple

In the early 80's, we (my family and I) had the opportunity to travel in the Far East. One of the places we went was Tokyo; actually went there a couple of times. The picture is of a Japanese bridal couple and the event is a Shinto wedding. I took the picture at the Meiji Shrine (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiji_Shrine) which is open to the public.

When I was a child, mid 50's, my father was stationed in Japan. My parents had the opportunity to attend a Japanese wedding as friends of the groom. My mother later attended a doll making class and made a doll of a Japanese bride. My observation is; be thankful you only had to deal with a wedding dress. wave
