Photographer's Note
Say yes to the Dress
In this confusing, weird, frightening and uncertain times, I chose three pictures before my comeback, which I hope will bring a smile on your face.
Also a nostalgic series from the time when we could still celebrate a wedding in large numbers of family and friends.
It's been almost a year since we saw this wedding procession come out of Manchester Cathedral. All parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces, friends bought something astonishing new outfit or had taken their best clothes out.
A great opportunity to take quite a few photos of the wedding-company from the side.
The title of this presentation refers to the Popular American reality television series Say Yes to the Dress . The series started in 2007 and has spin off in many countries including the Netherlands as I have heard.

The best way to view the pictures is to use the links above.
Very disappointing and discouraging to experience that TE's services have deteriorated further now that the use of HTLM codes in the text is no longer possible and the knowledge and/or will seems to be lacking to restore this.
The text accompanying the photos is important to me and enabled me to provide a 3P-presentation with a good layout and interesting references.
For the moment I am waiting to see if this virus can be fought by the owners of the site and stay in lockdown for so long.

Hello Rob,
A nice collage of elegantly dressed ladies.
Each picture show other women, but the combined post is a beautiful composition.
Good to see you are back on TE.

Hello Rob,
It's nice to see you here again. I agree the technical problems are a real pain in the ass, and I have little or no hope anything will be done to fix them. Someone with a leaning towards conspiracy thoughts would suspect someone at IB to deliberately turn off one function after another, hoping to scare everyone away.
As for today's photos, the main upload offers a fascinating collection of dress styles and talents to wear them. I wouldn't believe anyone here would qualify for being "best dressed woman of 2019", but everyone doesn't have the looks and money for that.
Among the workshops I am especially fond of the attentive looks of the children watching the newly weds. All photos are highly entertaining.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Rob, you were at Manchester Cathedral at just the right time.
So many opportunities for colourful and interesting pictures. I am a great fan of ad lib pictures at weddings, human behaviour is fascinating.
Looking at the various guests, I wonder what they are all thinking!
The main post is an excellent montage.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards Jean.

Dag Rob,
De vijf foto's zijn zo divers maar het komt er steeds op neer dat ze hun beste kleedje tonen.
Heel mooie compilatie en kleurrijk
Goed foto werk, bedankt.
Groeten uit een Oost Vlaanderen,
John.

Hallo Rob,
Het lijkt wel een Royal Wedding met al die fleurig uitgedoste dames. Er zit van alles tussen, van net iets te ordi via soepjurk tot tuttig pastel ΰ la de koningin. Maar de vrouw in kanariegeel wilde natuurlijk het meest opvallen, vast de moeder van de bruid.

Hi Rob
Great idea for a positive upload, colourful and full of hope. You created a fascinating panorama with lots to look at and several dressing styles. The WS photos add an extra dimension.
Bad news about the links in the text. I liked to use them a lot.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Rob,
Am I right in thinking that you had no connection at all with the people who were getting married in your pictures? If so, I salute you for your bravery and your skill in taking so many remarkably perfect photographs of such a motley collection of individuals in an incredible variety of attire.
Six individual images make up your first (main) image - I believe that is a "hexaptych" - and I think that just has to be my favourite one of them all, especially as we see such a wonderful display of different dresses worn by the ladies. Men are always expected to dress boringly.
"Where is the groom" has a delightful air of expectancy to it - and that is very well captured. And, of course, your other workshop image of the entire cast of this remarkable show is brilliant - we could sit looking at every individual in it for hours!
Fabulous!
Kind Regards,
John.
P.S. Yes, TE is suffering yet again and I doubt if anybody is even thinking about lifting a finger to save this sinking ship.

Hi Rob
great to see you back.
yes, its disappointing how the TE website seems to have continuous problems, and there doesn't seem to be much of an appetite by the owners or by the mods (not sure who fixes things) to correct it. Is it really that hard to correct the counter? I wish they would. Anyways, a fun shot of people actually getting together - simple things we take for granted. I like the slanted skinny hats :) Stay safe, I hope you're doing alright. cheers

Hello Rob,
I am glad to read that you plan comeback:). Amusing photos for the beginning. Funny collage of six photos. I see that women rather do not follow a diet. The Workshop picture are also nice.
Take care

Hello Rob,
How good to see you posting photographs, again.
I had begun to think that you had left TE.
Yes, there are a lot of faults with the site, some very annoying, but I have not found a site that I enjoy more than this! If the faults could be rectified, it would definitely be worth the effort as I feel people would return to post more frequently!
This is quite a collection of, shall I say, almost fashion shots from Manchester!
It was a risky time of year to plump for such flimsy garments but for, you, recording this wedding, it provided a quite extensive range of styles and colours.
I like the side view of the guests, an angle we never see in official photographs and it made a great composition.
And the groom - was he reluctant to be photographed!
You wouldn't imagine so, on tis special day!!
Keep safe during this horrendous time,
Bev :-)

An interesting fashion show is actually a great opportunity to see how differently dressed people are, but everyone is elegant and festive, a very good series of photos

Hallo Rob, the guests are dressed up on the occasion of this wedding. The excellent collage shows the diversity of dresses, shoes and hats the ladies wear for this special day. I really like this picture taken at the cathedral entrance. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, regards.

Hi Rob
Good pics combo giving such flavour and get funny if not threatening looks with that ''extra'' details on which you have capitalised well. Pretty catchy in blood red eh? and all with good body lingo that says a lot, while some of them are perhaps suitable candidates for slimming advert. Without doubt they add life to the event with many a potential story by the viewers as they create visual feast to the eyes.
I think you satisfy your objective- the kind of paparazzi adventure shot... he he!
Well done
Best regards

Hiya Rob
Being close to a wedding party without being invited is a good moment to focus on people you don't know and detail mainly the women dress, men's dress seem more casual and uniform. I like the women' s hats in accordance with their skirts.
Stay confined

Hallo Rob,
Heel wat andere jurken dan op het Salford Dragon Boat Festival.
Ook hier houden sommige dames van opvallende kleuren. Maar het blijft dan bijna bij ιιn kleur per jurk en de motieven zijn veel eenvoudiger dan op de kledij van de Chinese dames.
Gelukkig verschillen culturen en leve de verscheidenheid!
Je hoofdfoto toont ons een geslaagde collage van heel wat vrouwelijke genodigden op de bruiloft die hier graag hun lievelingsjurk tonen.
Prettig weekend, Paul

yes, the dress are usually shown in these special cerimonies and not so frequently in the daily life. it is like in such events the women were dressed like women. of course feminist would say I am an idiot, but I have not against pants of dresses..
take care
