Last Saturday Fabri and I had a marathon wedding. Our friends Laura and Gian Luca tied the knot! I had to wake up early (for a Saturday) to get ready for the wedding. Poor Fabri had to hustle off to work because he was on call all day and had to do rounds. So I got all dressed up all by myself and had to drop off Olney at Ruffia in my pretty wedding clothes. Then I went to the church in Savigliano.

Laura was beautiful in her wintery wedding dress and of course Gian Luca was very handsome. They really lucked out with the weather and the day was super sunny!

| Aperitivo after the ceremony |
Unfortunately Fabri didn't make it in time for the ceremony, which was a very sweet one. And SUPER unfortunately Fabri & I didn't take a picture together looking all nice and dressed up. So that's depressing. I did really like my hair this time though. I just straightened it at home, easy & free!
After the ceremony (and an aperitivo) I met Fabri back at home so that we could go to the wedding lunch together. Even though Fabri might be called away until 8pm, we wanted to go with one car so we'd eventually drive home together. We're smart like that.
Lunch was good and afterward we all danced. I danced my first liscio with Gerry (of Bar Belle Epoque fame). That was exciting. Poor Fabri couldn't dance much because he had to be able to hear his phone. While we were dancing, the staff at the restaurant were cleaning up and resetting the dining room for dinner. That's where the marathon part comes in. After lunch & dancing there's dinner & dancing!!

We were good sports though and partook in the yummy buffet and second round of dancing with out complaints. ;-) Around 1 am it had gotten to be too much for my poor little feet and we headed home. Also, poor Fabri had to do rounds at the hospice and was on call on Sunday. Fabri still had fun though as did I!

| Fabri and Pac having fun! |
Sunday morning after Fabri went to work, I went to Ruffia to see my puppy and meet the Motta's for lunch. Poor Fabri joined us around 2 as he had a lot to do. We had a yummy lunch, then a little bit of shopping before sleeping and relaxing the rest of the day! Good weekend, but a tiring one for sure!

Jess,
You looked georgeous. Sounds like it was a fun day. You guys always seem to have so much fun!!
Thank you!! One of these days I'm going to write a post revealing that we don't have parties and dinners every night, a day in the normal life piece.
Are all Italian weddings day long affairs like that? It sounds like a lot of fun, but tiring. I liked your hair straightened like that, it was so shiny!
I think that sounds like a typical Italian wedding! All day and all night! (But what do I know?)
