An Anniversary and an Easter

No ADA!

Those Italian babies!

One year later!

Last Sunday was our first anniversary! This year, our anniversary was on the same day as Easter. We went to Pizzo, the town were we married, with Gimmy’s family to the same restaurant we had our reception for our anniversary and Easter lunch. The restaurant is one of the best in the area with excellent food and service.

Gimmy's family bought us a cake like the one we have for our wedding and it said " Buon Anniversario"

Gimmy, being the magnificent husband he his, bought me a beautiful pedant necklace with emeralds and briliantini diamonds. It is so pretty I want to wear it every day!

Me, holding my Easter egg!

We were very happy and had a fun time remembering our wedding, only a year ago! Reminiscing when we were getting ready for the ceremony, walking down the alley, the priest and all his mighty talking, our wonderful guests, the communion, the sharing vows ( in Italian), telling each other how much we love one another, and the memorable first kiss…on my forehead! This particular priest and church were, let’s say, “old school”, no kissing on the lips allowed inside the church, even goes for married couples! Of course, after the ceremony, we got our kiss outside the entry doors as everyone was tossing rice at us and cheering! It was a beautiful and memorable wedding that we will never forget. Gimmy's family!

Another thing in Italy, is that they do not have an Easter egg hunt, nor is there an Easter bunny. There is an Easter dove, but it is not represented the same way. They do give Easter eggs but they are a huge chocolate (hollow with a surprise inside) and wrapped up like in the photo below.
