Departing for the reception, I overheard the bride's mother comment, "I hope Lynn's and Bob's love remains as beautiful as these bubbles." To which Lynn's father responded, "Let's hope their marriage lasts a lot longer than these bubbles." My silent sentiment, however, was, "I hope the reception offers lots and lots of champagne bubbles."
Autumn was in full glory with the sun shining upon an array of jewel tone colored trees. It was a perfect day for a wedding. The bride and groom exited the church and were greeted by applause and floating bouquets of iridescent bubbles.

Bubbly little piece, Pamela. Let's hope champagne bubbles fizz up Lynn's father's nose.

I'm still chuckling, Pamela :) And, I suspect a scene replayed at many a wedding. Well done!

Let the couple decide what kind of bubble they want their life to be. Nice one, Pamela.
