Camille& Léo
Un mardi soir, rue de Bretagne
Camille was closing the gallery. Léo was outside in the rain, twenty minutes late for a dinner he did not want to attend, asking to use the telephone. He did not use the telephone. He has never once been on time since, and we have made our peace with it.
Eleven years later we are inviting the people who saw it happen to a rooftop three streets from that door.
Vendredi 9 Octobre
Cérémonie civile
Mairie du 3e arrondissement. Twenty minutes, forty chairs, one very efficient officiant.
Cocktail
Rooftop at the Hôtel Marais. Champagne and gougères while the light does what it does over the zinc roofs.
Dîner
Salle des Glaces. Five courses, one long table, speeches between the fish and the cheese.
Bal
A jazz quartet until two, then records until whenever the concierge finally intervenes.
Ce qu'il faut savoir
Tenue — black tie. Paris in October is unreliable; the rooftop is covered but the walk between venues is not.
Logement — rooms held at the Hôtel Marais and two smaller hotels nearby until the end of July.
Cadeaux — your presence, genuinely. If you insist, we are putting anything received towards a very long honeymoon in Japan.
