Wedding Walk

May 24th, 2008

Recently I did a wedding in a beautiful 1800’s church.  After the ceremony, the couple observed an Italian custom of walking, with the wedding party, (think Al Pacino in The Godfather ~ with a much better outcome) from the church to the reception site.  It was a lovely way to segue to the reception.  At the reception, relatives of the bride offered a blessing in Italian and then in English ~ again a tribute to the bride’s heritage.

These touches always personalize a wedding and make it your own.  We are defined, to a certain extent, by our heritage and what a wonderful time to acknowledge it.
