Marrakesh: and a tale of love at Peacock Pavilions

 The bridesmaid hung her dress in the hotel room doorway at Peacock Pavilions.  She  didn't want to put it on until she had done the bride's hair.Charlie wedding at Peacock Pavilions in Marrakech

 She brushed and pinned and brushed and pinned. And the bride's hair looked perfectly like this...

Sigh, so lovely.

It was time then.  And the bride ran past the olive trees. She ran to get married.
