So we coughed our way to Grendelbruch

Ben, my American friend from the DEFLE, was marrying his fiancée Nora, who comes from Grendelbruch in Alsace, near Strasbourg. They asked if I could please conduct their wedding and I was very honoured to be asked !

Grendelbruch is a lovely little village in the Vosges, just outside Strasbourg. They'd hired a children's camp for their family and friends to stay in and when we arrived it was to a late evening Spaghettis party with a lovely mixture of Americans, Tarbais (Nora used to live in Tarbes, in the deepest South-West of France), Alsaciens and a couple of Brits. "There'll be snow", they'd said, but though the cold was a shock after 18°C in Pessac, the roads were all dry and the only snow we saw was on the volcanic peaks of the Auvergne on the drive up.
