un beau mariage

i was in gatineau this weekend for julie's wedding. being not particularly optimistic about marriage or children, i was suprised to find myself (and everyone else in the room) getting rather misty-eyed during the vows. and i was even more surprised to find myself enjoying spending time with their little nephew henri. maybe i'm getting soft in my old age.

anyways, since the wedding was amply photographed by a professional, i don't have any pictures of that, but instead a few from the after-reception party and from my daytime wanderings around gatineau.

post-wedding post-reception post-far too many brimming glasses of wine:

from gatineau to ottawa:

notice parliament in the background? probably not til i pointed it out...
