[Fons Baerken]

No Thomas, an anonymous snap.

[Mike G]

Looking at the bride, maybe a shotgun wedding?

[Ron Scubadiver]

Nice street shot.  Perfect timing with a hand on the baby bump.

True that. Nice timing Fons.

The bride and mother to be didnt seem to be the least bit embarrased over her situation, au contraire .

[Olivier]

And why would she be embarrassed?
My sister was in the same situation when she got married and the mayor insisted on the fact that one of the "objective" of marriage was to have children, so he wittily encouraged her to comply...

This is a superb shot, Fons, with a perfect timing indeed. I would like to see a bit more light on the faces though (and maybe less contrast?)

[Fons Baerken]

thank you Olivier

[Frank Fremerey]

Perfect timing luck is with those who never tier

[Fons Baerken]

thank you Frank

Nice work Fons.  B&W treatment works well for weddings and in this particular setting.

As for the young woman, I think that in this day and age she is possibly quite conservative in marrying before the children arrive! 

[Fons Baerken]

thank you Hugh

[Akira]

Superb snap nevertheless!

[rosko]

Well done, Fons !

A little dark indeed, but the lighting condition emphasizes le main subject.
