Italian Wedding Receptions
Italian Wedding Parties
Wedding
receptions in Italy are not over until all the guests feel so full they
need someone to carry them home in a wheelbarrow. Gastronomic excess is
the only way to get wedding guests to leave the Italian restaurant where
the festive celebration is taking place, as exhausted waiters serve course
after course of gourmet Italian food.
Joyful Italian songs and wedding music will be played as happy guests heartily eat away the best that Italy has to offer, chatting about politics, economics and soccer. Their discussions rarely reach a consensus or conclusion.
Men will protest about all the taxes they have been paying. Women will chatter about the latest romance of their favorite glitterati. Everyone will find enjoyment from the happy company and good food being served.
Bride and groom tour the wedding reception tables
Meanwhile, as the wedding reception begins to wind down, the newly married couple will always make a slow round of all the tables to greet everyone. Afterwards, they will quietly and inconspicuously leave for a romantic honeymoon vacation in Italy without even opening a single wedding gift.
Eager relatives of the bride and groom have already gladly reserved this last responsibility for themselves.
