Ladies permanently in black, even for a wedding. There was always someone to mourn. P.

Marvellous !!
I notice the benches bahind them, presumably for the celebrations.

As Pauline said, the ladies always seemed to wear black for something formal.

It is like seeing ghosts...

I think she is wearing black because she is a serious business woman and black is practical and always in fashion. Even if we are in la France profonde, remember it's 1939, and we are post Coco Chanel.
