Oronzo & Giovanna's wedding

Saturday,25 August 2007

Hi friends,

Yesterday I wrote my blog page,telling you about wedding,but, as I have had still problems with my new wireless pc,it loged off while I was publishing the blog page..it was terrible in that I spent a-half-an-hour to write it.

Now I have to be most careful.

Anyway..

The wedding was on Tuesday 14 August at 5pm in the Catholic church of Carmine,very close to my house.

That morning I got up early,at 8 o'clock and my day started hardly because I did lots of housework and lots of things in place of my mum,who has still got the cast on her leg.

I spent the all morning preparing my house,decorating it with flowers etc..

During the morning the florist came twice,bringing Giovanna's bouquet and some other compositions of flowers.

Our tradition wants the mother-in-law brings the bouquet to the bride,but as my mum was injured,I had had this important task.

At about 1pm we four (dad,mum,Oronzo and I) had our last lunch as a family.
My mum and dad seemed worked up,while Oronzo was very calm and he told us he felt sure with himself.

As for me,I felt strange because I cannot believe that my brother was getting married just that afternoon!! It wasn't a bad sensation,but it was a strange sensation that only a sister can feel for her brother..

Haidy was calm too and she behaved as a very good girl,oddly :-) she felt that someting of new was happening and she looked at us with lovely eyes!! She use to do the guard of our house,so she use to bark when the entryphone rings and to sniff when a person come into my house,but that day she didn't.

At about 4pm I went to Giovanna's home to bring her the bouquet.
When I arrived there,she was posing and the photographer involved also me,so we two posed together for some photos.

One hour went by quickly and at about 5 pm we all moved to the church!!!

The atmosphere in the church was wonderful and it was full of friends! My brother was nice and he was close to the altar waiting for his bride.

Giovanna was very worked up while she walking towards the altar with her father.

The priest preached a very sincere sermon because he was Giovanna's religion teacher when she went to the high school,so they have known each other for a long time.

After the Mass we all went near the Castel of Conversano of taking photos and at about 7.30pm we went to the restaurant.

We had a very nice and elegant tea,near the swimming pool of the restaurant which was precisely lighted and decorated.

The wedding ended at about 4 am and we all were very tired.

We enjoied ourselves very much,we danced and laughed a lot !! The tea was delicious and contained several very good food!!

I'm trying to insert some photos about the wedding,just to introduce Oronzo and Giovanna to you.

The wedding was wonderful and full of emotions!!! We all came back at home very happy and now Oronzo and Giovanna are spending their honeymoon in Spain!!!

Speak to you soon,
Anna Lisa.
