Christina's wedding was fabulous! It lasted five days!!!!! The first day was a dinner to meet everyone. After all, people came from across the globe. The wedding was in California. The groom and myself live in Massachusetts. The bride's mother was Austrian. So, everyone got together for appetifs at a restaurant, then to the bride's father's house for food and snaps. The next day was the wedding rehearsal, followed by dinner at a Middle Eastern restaurant. Finally--the big day. The wedding was a nuptial Mass. It was beautiful. After the Mass, Christina took a bouquet and placed it at the foot of a statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. They said it was an old Catholic custom.
Following the wedding was a reception on a cruise ship. While the revelry went on, the ship cruised Newport Harbor. What a fantastic experience!
My! I know I'm using a lot of exclamatory statements, but how else to describe this event? Lastly, the next morning was a brunch, at a restaurant.
May God bless this marriage of Christina & Ian.
