Re: Today in pictures
Photos of the Italo-Spanish wedding I attended in Pavia at the weekend. A very international affair there were guests from Manchester, Copenhagen, Madrid, Valencia and even a girl from the Orkney Islands was there!
1 Spanish steps! A little Spanish girl on the steps outside the chapel
2 The bride and grrom arrived in a Fiat 500
3 Fresco inside the chapel
4 Frescoed ceiling
5 Coriandoli (what we would call confetti in England) ready to shower th bride and groom
6 Someone will have to sweep it all up -hopefully they found the bride's earing which got lost at this point!
7 The reception venue - Gli Orti Borromei
8 My table was "Thyme"- each had a center piece of different herbs
9 Confetti (what we would call sugared almonds!) All the guests receive a gift of these plus a memento which in this case was a small cactus.
10 Pata negra -brought over especially for the reception from Spain
