This past weekend we attended a wedding of Clarie and Martin in Bordeaux. We actually met the couple in Miami (where they lived for two years) Germain was one of the bestman, so unfortunately, with errands, rehearsals, and rainy weather, we were not able to explore too much of the city itself.
Here is a map of Bordeaux relative to Paris:
Bordeaux is a city well known for it's wine. In fact, there is a wine named Bordeaux. With that being said, the city really lived up to it's reputation, there was fields and fields of vineyards everywhere!

The wedding took place all the same day. We first attended the civil ceremony at the city hall, then we made our way over to the church for the religious ceremony.

Afterwards, we drove about 20 minutes to a chateau for the reception. It was a very lovely wedding with yummy food.

For dinner, they had a roasted leg of lamb. They presentation was interesting. They waiters carried the leg lit on fire into the darkened room. From that, they cut pieces to serve everyone.

Unfortunately, a lot of pictures came our blurry so I really don't have much more to post about. It was a nice weekend in Bordeaux with friends, and the wedding was simple, but nice. Until the next one!
