The Wedding

My Bil ( dh brother number 2) Corrado and Alesandra wedding day is on the 17th of May 2008. It was a beautiful ceremony and luncheon party , despited of the rain in the morning.

The Marriage registration is held just in my Mil's neighborhood , and we all waited there for the bride to arrive. Indy and Maya were so excited as everybody treated them so well. And they met their cousins as well. Rachelle , 19 years old , daughter of Corrado ( the groom) and Elisabetha , 12 years old, sister of Rachelle. Indy adores them both.
And another cousin, Samuelle , 6 years old. He is in love with Indy and his father ( my dh eldest brother, Gian Luca) tried to explain it to him that Indy is his cousin...not girlfriend LOL..

After that we all headed outside the city, where the restaurant is located. Nice view and Great food.
Started with cold cuts of Salami and cheese,salatini, with refreshing Sangria and juices for the kids . I love Sangria.

Finally after the bride and the groom arrived, we start the lunch, at 2 o'clock all the way to 6 pm.
It was a great menu, and I love every single plates and so did Indy and even Maya.
Their ate and ate.

And , no...we don't eat only pasta, ( or spaghetti bolognese or even worse macaroni and cheese) as many people know as the " Italian food" or Pizza. Italian food in Italy are not just pastas and pizzas. They have a great menu of meat, duck, vegetables, fish, even rabbit. :) And of course during the meal there were many great wines .
