Description
I'm sorry dear friends who have left very valuable comments on this page. I made a grave mistake. In order to edit my previous post with a new croped image I 'remove'd the old image ....oops I lost all the comments too.
It was after Tim's opnion I decided to do some post work to the image, but it was not updated through 'edit'.So I press 'remove'. I shall check whether 'Rendorosity' can help me.
For a woman the official symbol of her marriage is her 'Thali', a golden chain with a special locket. It is so important in her life,that loosing ones 'Thali' is a nightmare.

Lovely! When you edit the actual image it doesn't always show until you come out of RR and then go back.

You have taken a lovely photograph, Joseph. I do not think that it is intrusive at all. Possibly it was taken with a zoom lens. In my church, in Glasgow, Scotland, often video is taken, during the marriage service. No photographs with flash are taken at all. However, after the wedding, many photos are taken, on the altar, and outside the church ( weather permitting ). This shot is very heartwarming. The colours are nice and subdued. I like the bride's dress, the priests vestments, the stained-glass window, and her veil ( caught for a moment ). The 'Thali', or wedding necklace, is, I understand, a south Indian cultural equivalent of the better known ( at least in the West ) wedding ring or band. I assume that it signifies the bridegroom giving his wordly goods to his bride. Like a wedding ring, the bride will wear it with pride for the rest of her life. Gold being difficult to tarnish, will last longer than people's lives, and so is chosen for the metal used. We had a couple of Syro-Malabar rite Oriental Catholics in our parish a year or two back. They were Tamils. My sister spent three weeks in north Sri Lanka helping a Tamil primary school, the year after the Tsunami. There are at least two Syro-Malabar rite priests in Scotland. We have Fr. Joy Cheradiyil, CMF, in Glasgow, and there is another, I understand, in the adjoining Motherwell Diocese. Thank you for posting this happy photo, my friend. Warm regards from Glasgow ( about 17C this evening ), John.

I hope this may be of some use to you, my friend. I left my PC on while I went to church, for the Ascension Thursday vigil mass. I did not close down my browser, so have the originals... ;o)

This is obviously a very important moment for the bride. You can see it in her expression, which is demure, but very satisfied. I like the capture of the moment that the priest is beginning to put the 'Thali' around her neck, and the groom is waiting to complete the action. It is a very pretty scene. She is a beautiful bride and it is a lovely capture!
