Moore/Mannella Marriage Meme
This Marriage Meme was sent to me by a friend who found it on Kerry’s Khaos. What fun! And, how appropriate for this week’s installment of Love Thursday!
1. Where/how did you meet? We met in the burbs of Paris in 2000. We had seen each other around for a few months, and were officially introduced [...]
I Now Present to You
the new Mr. and Mrs…
Isn’t that fun to say?? I mean, uh, write??
It is!
It is!
And, on this, our two month anniversary, it only seems fitting.
Well, as you know good-ole-dad was able to attend the wedding, and other than a few centerpiece mishaps, a Maid of Honor shoe issue, and Peppe totally hating the tie I [...]
"All Because Two People
fell in love…”
This is one of the newest “wedding expressions” out on the market, and, while I must admit it does remind me somewhat of a sappy old Brad Paisley cawntrey song…it is nice to hear, especially when planning one’s wedding.
I also liked
“And, They Lived Happily Ever After!”
But, ultimately fell for
“Fall in Love…”
Get it?
A “Fall” [...]
Some Things Just Don’t Mix
And, wedding invitations and the Italian Post are two of them.
I know, I know…it isn’t Wedding Wednesdays, so what are we doing talking about WEDDINGS??? (And, I am counting on you to forgive my Wedding Wednesday lapse last week…)
Well, this is a tad different. This is personal. This is about MY wedding! (Hear the loud [...]
Something Else? - WW Part 5
“Casa senza fimmina ‘mpuvirisci” (Sicillian proverb)
Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue…As if brides don’t have enough “somethings” to search for prior to the Big Day, tradition dictates another four be found.
By far one of the most adhered-to traditions of brides throughout, this catchy little rhyme provides a connection between the past and the [...]
Trendsetters - WW Part 4
“Meglio il marito senz’amore, che con gelosia.”
Taking a cue from celebrity brides, or perhaps just to be a tad different, couples are choosing creative alternatives to timeless wedding traditions.
The Top 5 Trends for 2007-2008 Weddings
5. “I’ll Scratch Your Eyes Out.” As couples are choosing to tie the knot a little later in life, some [...]
Shabby Chic - WW Part 3
“La buona moglie fa il buon marito”
Last week we tore into the Italians with busta talk and soldi expectations. It’s just not fair! So, to even the playing field un poco, let’s talk about Americans! Celebrities have been doing it for years, yet many people think it is a tacky, and tasteless, way to [...]
"Gimme that Soldi!" WW Part 2
“Chi ha moglie ha doglie”
We were last discussing what common denominator ties weddings together world-wide. If not flowers, cakes, veils, or favors…what could it be?
That only leaves one thing!
Well, technically that leaves a lot of things…but today we are talking about il regalo di nozze, otherwise known as, the wedding present. This can mean [...]
"Wedding Traditions - All’ Italiana!" WW - Part 1
“Ne di Venere Ne di Marte non si sposa ne si parte!”
Welcome to Part One of a Five-Part Series about le nozze, i matrimoni or, as we say in English, WEDDINGS!
On the board today…Tradizioni Italiani!
Wedding traditions, in both the US and Italy, date back further than Martha Stewart, Preston Bailey, or theknot.com. But, shhh…don’t [...]
My Bruta Figura
Ok, Ok…it happens to all of us at some point or another, right?
Right?
Oh, come on…
Well, it happened to me. I made my first Italian bruta figura. How did it happen?
Well, let me show you some pictures of the most recent wedding we attended…and we’ll see if YOU can tell.
This is the church located just [...]
