Hi Suze, She wasn't in formal dress........he was standing freely with her down by his head. So I guess by your interpretation this is OK.............well, I will exercise my right of free speech and say.........I don't feel this is correct presentation. If I were paying the handler.....no kneeling of any kind would I want. pam
