Yesterday we hit the road running…on wedding things.
We went to look for a dress, but were told we needed an appointment. That appointment is set for today, on my 31st birthday. 
After that, we went to the gift store. In Italy, you buy gifts for the people who come to your wedding. So we bought the gifts, and I am glad to have that checked off of my list. Tonight we are going to the restaurant where we will have the celebration.
The only thing I am concerned about regards the practicality of the night. How are people going to get from their hotels to the church to the restaurant and back home? **Let me know if you have any ideas!**
Other than that, Fabio’s parents asked him what I like to eat. He told them I liked the buffalo mozzerela I tasted last summer. Guess whaat my lunch was yesterday??! A BIG BALL of buffalo mozzerella! Of course, there were tons of other things to be eaten with it…proscuitto, bread, other cheeses, another kind of ham, olives…however, as they had served me the entire ball, I figured I should eat it. And there wasn’t much room for other things. (I did have some fruit for dessert. The Italians seem to serve up fruit after meals like it was water. Maybe we should try this at home…).
Yumm, yumm and more yumm! Bonne anniversaire!
What about renting a bus for transportation between the church and the restaurant and, if you have a wedding hotel or two, between that and the church and the restaurant and it? P’s colleagues did that when they got married in Rome. It would be helpful… I don’t think we’ll be renting a car. How far are the distances and how much are taxis? What do the inlows think you should do?
