Best wedding without a doubt
my little sister's, who is French. God the French are so civilised. The legal part of the wedding was first, conducted by the mayor resplendent in a tricolor, looking something like a retired film star, then the entire wedding party walked through the streets of Cassis - a beautiful old port town near Marseille - and then to the church. Church bit over, we took one of those tourist "trains" that run at seaside resorts to a bar overlooking the Med - had a toast and some nibbles - then by car to a chateau for the reception - the cake didn't come out until 2am ! Being French, there were no fights, no unpleasantness due to booze, and we all stayed in gites next to the chateau, and started again on the champagne in the swimming pool next morning. Wonderful...
