Wait a second...you got it completely wrong...!!!
I haven't actually got married...it wasn't "my" wedding...but the first one I attended in England...
Catherine and Stephen, two friends from Bristol got married Saturday in Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham.
It took 3 years before going to a wedding in England but I have to say it was interesting, and beautiful. Indeed.
I was mostly curious to see whether there were differences from a typical Italian wedding and what they were...! Well...there are some, of course...!
Everything here is much more formal...maybe also too much...less spontaneous I'd say...Not big differences...very many little things...I was astonished seeing the bride and the groom, with their parents get in line and welcome, shaking hands and briefly exchanging few words, all the guests, from the first one to the last one... What a patience!!!
Italian weddings  are definitely more noisy...but I bet anyone is surprised of this... :) Also the dinner in Italy lasts hours...while here was quite short...Nevertheless the salmon and the cheesecake selection were absolutely delicious...! The party with live music and dancing was really funny...! Anyway...I am not here making a list of differences in wedding habits... and it is also hard to describe if you have not been to one before...
This was the first wedding for this year...5 more are already scheduled from now to September...

In the meantime...while I am here writing my blog...Stephen and Catherine are at the Maldives Islands...Lucky them...! :)
