The instigator to the entire two months in Italy was to come to the wedding of my old roommate, Ilaria. And it was so worth the trip! The wedding was this past Sunday and we all had a blast. The mass was held in a beautiful church in the countryside and was half in English half in Italian because the groom, is Greek but was born in America and has been living in London for the past 10plus years...so all of his guests were British. I felt amazing because for once I could understand everything, although my Italian is pretty good now, it's not my native tongue, so it was fun to joke around with all the British people and make fun of each others accents.
After the mass we went to Ilaria's house in the countryside...two years ago I went there with her and her family for Easter. They had moved things around a bit, but it was a perfect spot for a wedding reception. We ate well, drank a lot of wine, sang, danced, and then did it all over again. It was so beautiful and fun, and so wonderful to see my friend so happy and in love.
So happy! So blessed to have such wonderful friends all over the world.
