Live your own life
The villagers found it odd that Sandrine left right after the wedding. Had she planned this? There were several rumors floating around and Sandrine found out about them. She told everyone that she went back to Paris for her job. She would always be there for Marcel, even from a distance. Nothing stood in the way of their love. Even though that’s exactly what the villagers wanted.
Yeah, the age gap between Marcel and Sandrine was big. But they were both adults and knew what they were doing. Everyone is free to live however they want, right? Several people thought Sandrine only wanted to be there for the marriage. But aren’t there lots of people with long distance relationships? Especially now that everyone has a good internet connection, it’s easy to make it work.
