My birthday week-end !!!

What a busy week-end we had, much more tiring than working...
It was a beautiful sunny 3 days week-end spend with friends just perfect to celebrate my birthday!


We started on saturday with a BBQ meal, the first of the year!


Some friends visited us from Paris.
 


It was time to go out with our '58 Lincoln convertible, the weather was so perfect!
 

 
We went to visit Luxembourg City.


If you didn't know, Luxembourg is the smaller country in Europe except Monaco and Andore.
 

The historical center of the City is registered at UNESCO.

 

 
There are some old battlements in the upper City.
 
 
The oldest part of the town is the lower city.
 

 
There is a kind of "canyon" crossing the City.
 


It was like summer....

 

 
Here is the lower part of the city with the Alzette river.
 
 
We had to thank our driver....
 
 
You can see here on the background our garage with my husband collection.... vintage VACCUM CLEANERS!!!!
I must make a post about that in a near future....


Despite a busy pizza party on evening, we woke up early on Sunday for some flea markets under the sun!
 
 
We found a lot of great stuff for amazing low prices... some items were even given to us for FREE!!!

 

 
Time to look at what we found....

 
Shoes, umbrella, basket, bag, blender, toys, hat, vaccum cleaners, fur, vintage magazines, glasses, towels....


On Monday, it was a day off in France so we had planned a wonderful picnic for my birthday with friends!


All friends brought their vintage cars.
 
 
Sylvain caught all the girls with his big convertible....
 

 
We found great place in middle of some ponds !
 

What a nice day to cruise together!


We made a stop at a small medieval village near home.

 
The day finished at home to eat cake with some cold drinks...

 
Thanks to everybody to have been here for my birthday!!!!

Did you spend a nice week-end ?
Is it also summer weather where you live ?

A Rock'n Roll WEDDING !!!!

Last saturday was THE day for our friends Aline and Vincent!


 
 
There was a dress code for this event: black and white!

The day started really well with the groom's car which didn't start.....
  

And it was time to go to pick up the bride! I let my husband drive my car because it was hard to drive for me with 2 large petticoats!!!


All friends with working machines took the road to follow the groom, a nice drive on a sunny afternoon!!!


What fun to drive between nice vintage cars!



We should have driven  my husband 's 58 Lincoln but the weather was not so sure for the night and he had a problem to put the top up.
 


All friends were all so elegant in B&W...



What lovely ladies!



Here is the Hot Rod of our friend Rémi, I love this picture!
I was wearing a black early 50's french dress bought in Paris about 10 years ago.
 


Here is the small church were they get married!
 


Black and white petticoats just to fit the dress code perfectly!!!
I usually wear only one small petticoat but this dress is so full, more than a circle skirt!

 
My hat is a 50's velvet one, a present from my husband years ago.
 
 

And it was time to welcome the star of the day: the bride!

 
An arrival better than Cannes Festival with an amazing dress, like a small balerina!!!


Here was the car of this glamourous couple: a 48 pick-up CHEVY.
 
 
And here are us waiting to enter in the Church!
 

The groom was fully vintage dressed with a 40's tuxedo bought with us here and the bride's dress was just designed for her, just perfect!

 
The party was so much fun and so well prepared with so much good things to eat... and drink!
 

Our friends from the Mos'cats played good old Rock'n roll!!!

 

It should have more friends' wedding it's always so much fun!!!!
All like kids again.....

 
Oh, did you notice my perfect hairstyle!!!! My own creation with hair rolls... you will not see them like this often it takes so much time to have a perfect hairstyle!!!!
 
 
Some really fun portraits...

 

A small picture with the STARS of the day...


CONGRATS to this lovely couple!!!!!
 
What a beautiful table with every details thought with care... and love of course!!!!
 
 
You will not see so much pictures of the party because I was low battery, what a pity, you will miss their amazing wedding cake!!!!


Join me to wish a happy life to
Aline and Vince!!!!
You will perhaps cross their road in their honeymoon this summer in California!!!

What do you think of this beautiful just married couple?
 Just perfect, isn't it?
Have you some friends' weddings planned this summer?
