Just a walk in the park Irene  ::) ::) ;D ;D

PS  I've taken the coats to be leopard print but if not I can easily change it.

PPS This photo has only been scanned at 72ppi (which I forgot to check before I was past the point of no return  ::) !!), hence it has lost some definition.

(NB The optimum level at which photos should be scanned for posting is 300 ppi..nothing less, nothing more.  Any less, the quality isn't there and any more requires greater compression for posting on Roots and gives a box like appearance.)

Hi Jo

A good buddy of mine has pointed out to me that the brides hands are white (thanks Hippy  :-* ).  I did think she was wearing gloves but I think what I'm seeing is the sleeve of her dress and not the cuff of a glove!   Anyway, here's one with the brides hands coloured, plus upon closer inspection I noticed that the bride is holding a bible.

Cheers
Caz
