The image is extraordinary in many aspects. On the cusp of war, the wedding of a wartime prime minister, marking the end of an era. Strong social commentary. And then there is the personal human drama. I thought it was fascinating.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348849115235899670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541476556391638636.post-64842085703446106212011-05-03T22:09:07.468-04:002011-05-03T22:09:07.468-04:00as for this photo: Do you think the folks lining u...as for this photo: Do you think the folks lining up are associated with the families (servants, residents of the nearby towns)? It is an odd and jarring juxtaposition. It is the end of the 1930s with all the political turmoil and still economic turmoil and everyone is looking at this rich young couple. Gives me goosebumps in a bad way.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541476556391638636.post-36080265639677483302011-05-02T12:53:21.740-04:002011-05-02T12:53:21.740-04:00Courtney ~ a mini cascade in a way.

I just came back from the nursery with green/white flowering plants. Wanted lily of the valley but couldn't find it.<br /><br />The car might just be my favorite element. So much to love -- the dress, the music and the flowers!Style Courthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034129367345351303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541476556391638636.post-21130927485285663652011-05-01T09:22:28.135-04:002011-05-01T09:22:28.135-04:00columnist ~ Ah yes. . . two very different monarch...columnist ~ Ah yes. . . two very different monarchs!
