Wow...a 21 year old bride?
Well, like you said, she is young and obviously very traditional to be getting married so young. Don't fret and chalk it up to learning how to live in Rome like the Romans. Good luck!

Azur, thank you
Yes, that is what I said to myself. And, that I was older, more experienced and an apology wouldn't hurt. Today, I sent an apology to the whole staff. I also got a real nice send off, as today was my last day. Thanks for your supportive message.

It is hard when an action kindly meant is not pleasing to the recipient. I think we can only take one step at a time and getting married was a big enough one for her at this point. Take care

Greenfields, religious traditions are very important to some people. If she did not tell you ahead of time not to share her picture with others and you already did, all you can do is apologize and remember that for any other pic she shares with you.
