Wedding Post: How Mom and Dad got Married!

It was love at first sight for Giulia and Petros! Fine! My mom met my dad at a reception in 1997, in Italy. They have known for 1 and a half years before they decided to get married. It wasn't my dad that proposed though, it was my mom that asked my dad, "So? Shall we get married?" and my dad replied, "ok" and that's how they got engaged. They got married twice, they first had a registered wedding, in which my mom wore a red suit and my dad a black suit, and got married my a municipal officer, and then they had a religious wedding, in which my mom wore the usual white wedding gown and my father again a black suit, and they got married by a priest. My grandma was the first person to know they were getting married. My mom and dad got married in Italy, Rome, because my mom is from Rome and she wanted to get married there (and also, that was the country they were in). At their registered wedding there were about 20 people and at their religious wedding there were about 130 people. The municipality (where they had their registered wedding) indoors was all red tapestry, and outside there was an square designed by Michelangelo. Inside the church there were some white flowers and there was no outdoor, like a garden, etc. There weren't any specific special colours on clothes, my mom wore the traditional white wedding gown and my father the black suit. Other people that participated in the ceremony were friends, relatives, and children and they didn't wear anything special, they wore elegant clothing (nicely dressed). For the registered wedding there was homemade food prepared (for the reception that was at home) and they ate special cakes from Sardegna, and for the religious wedding there was a reception at a palace in Rome and they had a light dinner with the traditional wedding cake with layers. There was some background music but my mom doesn't remember what kind since she wasn't paying attention to the music but to the party. People did not dance at my mom and dad's wedding. At the religious wedding there were white flowers in the church and reception, and at the registered reception there was also a Christmas tree since they got married at Christmas Time. There were some traditions that were going on such as the bride (mom) being escorted to the groom (dad) by the father, but since my mom's father (my grandpa) passed away already, she went with my Uncle Toni. My mom and dad also cut the cake together, people threw rice at my mom and dad after the ceremony, they handed out confetti (sugar-covered almonds)-Italian tradition, and handing out Loukoumia, which is baked sweets with pistachios (Cypriot tradition-since my dad is Cypriot), and also another tradition is that the bride is all dressed in white. "I really enjoyed it!" sais mom, "it was fun walking around with a long dress and a veil!" Apparently she really enjoyed it! I wish I were there too! To bad I wasn't born yet! When I grow up I want a wedding just like my mom and dad's, simple and fun. With a nice, pretty big cake all decorated and nice looking (and with layers!). I want to be married in a church and by a priest and have flower girls. I hope my family can attend my wedding and have fun!
