Planning, details, organization… and the day just flies right by.
A wedding celebration is wonderful, but we also need to remember that every day is a gift from God. May their love grow deeper with each passing year.
I’m reminded of that as my husband and I approach our 27th wedding anniversary. Our days may not be glamorous but are filled with laughter, love and adventure. Yes, each day is a gift…
A-h-h-h… Farewell to the Love Locks Bridge…
Paris, the city of love, will need to become creative again and find new ways to express affections due to the determination that the Love Locks phenomenon has caused a degradation of the heritage of Paris, the heavy weight upon the bridge is causing harmful damage and a safety hazard to tourists. The tradition of adding a padlock has been traced to an Italian teen novel titled I Want You published in 2006. ~USA Today
So, how do you correctly say “goodbye” when in France?
1. Say “au revoir” in any setting. This is the standard French translation of the English “goodbye” and it can be used in both casual and formal settings, with strangers and friends alike.
Pronounce au revere as oh duh-vwar.
2. Use “salut” informally. You can use salut as a way of saying “bye” when among friends or in other casual settings.
Pronounce salut as sah-loo.
3. While adieu is no longer as common as it once was, it can still be used in most contexts as a way of saying farewell.
A rough pronunciation of adieu would be and-joo.

How to Say Goodby in French ~ WikiHow
Wedding dance images are always a favorite since the day is coming to a close and the stress is now gone. Time to relax and enjoy the moment. Add a Canon 580 EX2 off camera flash plus another 580 EX2 on camera bounced off the ceiling synced with Cybersync radio triggers and let the emotions flow.
May you continue the pursuit of happiness and sometimes pause to just be happy.
Excitement punctuates the air this time of year as optimistic young adults go separate ways to pursue their ambitions in life. One thing this particular group will always have in common is the ability to reflect upon their past together as students and members of this small rural community in northeastern South Dakota. Each has experienced their own kind of history which will affect how they react to the world ahead of them. Good, bad or indifferent… to each their own. Always know that your time spent together has been time well spent.
Best wishes to the Grant-Deuel class of 2015 and may your lives be blessed.
