A princess's wedding

I lived a very privilege life. The funny thing about a privilege life is that you don't know you live in one until you move away from the circumstances.

When we were in Monaco, I was part of Les Petits Chanteurs de Monaco and we regularly sang at the Cathedral of Monaco.



On June 29, 1978, my father drove me to Princess Caroline and Philippe Junot's wedding. Le Rocher was closed to all traffic, but as we approach the police blocking the entrance, my father opened the window and told him that we were expected at the wedding since I was part of the boys' choir that was to sing. The policeman waved at his colleagues that moved the barricade to let us drive up to the palace.

My father and I reminisced about that little adventure on occasions. This is privilege life. There were only about 70 people in attendance at the Gardens in the Palace for the wedding. People like Cary Grant and his wife, Gregory Peck and his wife, David Niven and his wife, Frank Sinatra and wife and Ava Gardner and many royals.

And I was there. WOW! 28 years later, I realize how awesome that was. Back then... I was just going to sing at a wedding.

It was December of that same year that we moved to the US and started another privilege life.
