<p>[QUOTE="kmar, post: 116775, member: 1668"][ATTACH=full]29398[/ATTACH] this is forgiven and yes I did make a slight mistake calling it forgiveness. As for what I think the story of the 2 pictures are. I've always believed the first took place right after the young couple leave the church, already having been married. I assumed this because the minister is already holding the closed bible, the couple seems to be walking away from the entrance not going towards it, and the couple is painted connected tightly to each other not cautiously keeping their distance in the presence of her father. Because the Bride is painted leaning towards her groom and not her father it sort of implies her new "primary male bond". Not to mention the title of Elopement has a tendency to imply that the actual eloping has already been completed. Also since the second painting shows the couple returning to her father for forgiveness, one would have to assume they have gone through with eloping and are now a married couple. Well that's what I've always seen anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
