Wedding Destinations Guide

Today I’d like to share a few Italian proverbs that I’ve found to be 100% true and also quite funny. They’re pretty old and still
apply today.

But first, did you know that Italian wedding customs forbid the bride to wear any gold before and after the wedding? I don’t know if this is true for other nations but in Italy, Sunday weddings are considered to bring good luck to the newlyweds.

Alright, and now for some words of wisdom from Italy:

• A good wife makes a good husband.
• Don’t put a finger between wife and husband.
• Who has no wife has no master.

(Is this good or bad?)

• Who has a wife has strife.

If you are from Italy, I’d love to gather more wisdom words from you. Maybe you can ask your parents about their wedding day.

For the kid in all of us I decided to talk about a Wedding Game I’ve found on the internet last weekend.

Even if it’s intended to be a simple fun game, it certainly allows you to manipulate all sorts of weddings planning aspects and even create a storybook. The fun part is that you can choose a wedding dress, the music, the flowers and of course the wedding cake.

Beside dressing the bride and arranging the wedding, you can also play dress up with your groom and his groomsmen.

I know this may not be your regular ‘coffee break’ game but it’s really a great game to be played regardless of your age.

P.S. post comments and let me know if you like or hate this game.

The Wedding Cake will be the centerpiece of your reception. Selecting a wedding cake is more about showing your personal style and why not creativity.

These days, you can choose not only the taste and ingredients but also the shape, colors, form, toppings and many more. Professional pastries can design a wedding cake custom-made precisely after your indications.

Usually, cakes are priced per slice according to cake flavors, fillings, frostings and complexity of design.

Here are some ideas to get your sweet tooth and your imagination started.

If you plan on having your wedding in the Caribbean islands you might want to know the 3 most important Caribbean wedding traditions:

1) The bride and groom show off their finest clothes for the entire village.
2) There’s no need for a best man at an Island wedding!
3) A typical wedding feast features curried goat and spicy chicken jerky

While traditions differ from island to island, it is ordinary for the bride and groom to dress in their finest clothes and to stroll from either the bride’s house or the groom’s house to the church while the church bells ring, announcing the wedding to the whole island. Typically, one and all from the town lines the street to view the couple as they walk to the cathedral and it is usual for onlooker to remark on the bride’s and groom’s clothing.
Usually, guests were invited to the wedding ceremony by word-of-mouth, with only a few honored guests getting hand-written invitations. However, a Caribbean Island wedding doesn’t stand on ceremony, and anyone who shows up, invited or not, is welcome at the wedding.

There is no such thing as a best man at a Caribbean Island wedding. The bride’s father or often both of her parents accompany her down the aisle with her face concealed by a veil. At the end of the ceremony, which is often a mixture of Catholic and Mayan and African, the groom lifts the veil and kisses his new bride to the cheering of family and friends.
The regular Caribbean Island wedding reception can go on all night, with customary steel-drum island music, lots and lots of sweet but potent rum punch, wild dancing and many toasts to the health and happiness of the new couple. Amongst the many wonderful hand-made gifts which are traditional at Caribbean weddings are exquisite hand-made quilts and home-made furniture.

The food at a typical island reception reflects the uniqueness of the Islands. Where else in the world would you find curried goat, spicy chicken jerky, fried plantains and conch fritters at a wedding feast?

Sounds fun, doesn’t it ?
