While I was in Italy with D, we went to an Italian wedding. I thought it would be more similar to an American style wedding than it was, but, I guess I was wrong.
The ceremony is part of the typical church service. After that is over, the reception is held nearby for about 8 hours and consists almost entirely of one activity: eating. Obviously, food is extremely important in the Italian culture so that is what we did: eat, drink, and when it was over---dance a bit.
This is what we had.
Appetizers
Course 1: Ravioli with mushroom and a type of meat that I seem to forget (Daniele's favorite)
Course 2: Pumpkin and Balsamic Vinegar Risotto (my favorite)
Course 3: Pork Chop with Sauteed Zucchini and Eggplant Parmesian
Course 4: Veal with Fried Potatoes
Dessert: Wedding Cake and Dessert Liquors (not pictured)
D had two servings of each, except for the wedding cake and the risotto. I had one serving of each. This was lunch and it is probably needless to say that we did not eat dinner.
