This really is the wedding season at Bratislava. Every church was hosting a wedding, which effectively barred the tourists from entering the place. This bride outside St Martin's Cathedral looked radiant. Here, she welcomed her family and friends to the wedding ceremony. Some of the guests were in evening wear, and the odd one in jeans and shorts. A lot of them brought bouquets of flowers, which were presented to the bride after the ceremony.
Another bride outside St Martin's Cathedral, receiving good wishes from friends and family. Although it must have been a joyous occasion, the atmosphere was subdued, almost solemn. No hats for the ladies, in the Slovakian tradition. As it was high summer, few men wore suits.
The Castle (Hrad) proves to be a popular place for photoshoot. There were at least two couples who had chosen this historical place to stage their photoshoot. It was a fiercely hot day, the groom who was wearing his tuxedo must be drowning in his own sweat. Equally, the bodice of the wedding gown must be trying on a hot summer day. But of course the smiles carried the day.
Another photoshoot near the Castle. This bride was accompanied by three of her friends, who teethered along in their stilettos, crunching the cobble stones on the Castle grounds. Later the groom was seen to be holding the reflector whilst the photographer took pictures of a relaxed bridge sprawled out on the grass.
Every bride's best friend
