My First Italian Wedding - 6-10 Sept.

Three weeks ago, I went to my friend Mabe's wedding ... and it was greeeaaat !!!!




















I arrived in Rome on Thursday ... and had time to visit till Friday morning when Odette & Coco arrived and Sonicka in the afternoon ...









Coco, Soňa (say [sonia]) and Odette ...










Rome is a really nice City and I really enjoyed the beauty of it ...






























Then the four of us took the car to Santa Maria degli Angeli, next to Assisi where Mabel and her husband are living. Assisi is center (from North to South) / center (from West to East) of Italy ; on top of a hill with really great landscapes ...






After two years, we are finally back together, French MC team 04-05 !






















On Saturday we visited the city and went out in the evening for a pizza and a crazy party in an old castle ... Great moments to bond a team of 12 people / 10 different nationalities and the future married couple :)






























From front to back, left to right :
Sonicka from Slovakia, Barbara from Malta, Odette from Malta, Coco from France, Neil from Scotland, Leo from Ecuador ...














Antonio from Italy, Janelle from Puerto Rico

and missing ... one Romanian, one Kenyan and one German ...


Sunday : the wedding !
Preparation, visiting the bride, going to the wedding ... so nice in a small church, typical Italian style







































































and dinner ... well if you could call that dinner :
1st : drinks and appetisers ( which means a lot of food !! - cheese, vegetables, sea food, pizzas, salads, ham, ...)
2nd : the dinner itself ! Risotto as starter, Pasta as starter ... again, main meal and buffet of desserts ...











































and then chill out on the terrace with a drink ... or dancing ...














Then, back to the hotel around 3am, we decided to go for a room party ... to finish this amazing week end ..



















Next day was back to Rome and everyone was leaving ... back to their different countries ... Odette to Malt, Coco to Bremen, Sonicka to Paris and I to London ... wow good to be back home but was a great experience !
