Alexandre Gregoire 20 x 16. "Wedding". The bridal party walks through the woods to their church for the wedding ceremony. A wedding ceremony takes place outdoors, giving its party more room to dance, celebrate and share in the love of the joined families and the couple. Alexandre Gregoire was born in 1922 and didn’t begin painting until 1968 at the encouragement of other famous painter friends, Prefete Duffuat and Pierre Joseph Valcin. He died in 2001.
