At the beginning of September two of our friends Samuela and Deborah got married. Weddings in Southern Italy are an extravagant affair.
The service went for 2 hours, we then went to the reception which started with drinks, followed by photos with the bride and groom. It was in quite a magnificent place with a beautiful garden and fountains.
We were then seated in a very large room for our first course, which was a buffet and had various types of great Italian food, after which we were pretty full. This howver was just the start!
After about 1 hour we were taken upstairs to another room where we were served 5 more courses. Pasta, pasta, meat and vegetables, fruit, desert, cake. This was of course over many hours with a fantastic live band and dancing.
We then went into another room for coffee and after dinner drinks, to the sound of a man playing a grand piano.
After this we went downstairs again for the cutting of the cake where behind the couple was a firework fountain and let into the sky were mini hot air ballons.
We progressed inside for more cake then for more photos with friends and to say goodbye to the newly married couple and receive a beautiful gift from them.
