A wedding in Italy

So a wedding in Ravello Italy eh? Certainly a bit different!

First thing, I hope none of you ever have to wear a suit in that kind of weather. Not pleasant in the slightest. A very good job the wedding organiser insisted the service couldn't be any earlier than 5 p.m. otherwise I might have actually melted.

The service was well... religious, so not really got much to say about it. Did get a holy water shower during the unexpected "Memory of baptism" part of the ceremony. Oh and I accidentally gave Cat a fit of the giggles by saying "Mmmmm Pie Jesu" during that particular Hymn. Luckily Cat had already done her reading (and very well) so I wasn't killed on the spot.

Very nice drinks afterwards. Actually come to think of it very nice drinks was a theme of the whole day, so it's no wonder I had an amazing time ;). Fantastic 6-course wedding breakfast and some wonderful heartfelt speeches that gave me a great warm fuzzy feeling or maybe that was caused by more of the very nice drinks... A highlight of the breakfast for me was an unexpected power cut which caused a break in the music to be quickly filled by some incredible and impromptu classical singing from the brother of the bride and one of the bride's friends from uni.

So all that was left was the traditional disco part of the wedding, could this be where it goes wrong? Not in the slightest! A very sweet first dance, followed by the Baywatch theme tune (the groom being a fan of the Hof being a well known in-joke). Add in an amazing air guitar performance to "Sweet child of mine" and it was a sure thing the rest of the evening was going to be legendary.

  1. Lovely post! Thanks for sharing here. At some outdoor San Francisco wedding venues I also got married in last week. We hosted a small family party and invited only close friends. It was a DIY ceremony and we all had blasting time.
