Francesca and James came from Scotland to marry at the Mas des Cinq Fontaines, in the Jabron valley above Sisteron. They brought their families, their traditions and a great deal of laughter with them. There was no trial for this one, only a conversation and a decision to trust me, which is never a small thing to be given. The morning was full of people and noise in the best possible way. Some weddings are quiet. This one was not, and it was all the better for it.
