A Friends Wedding

A few weeks ago we went to David's friends wedding, Davide and Michela. The ceremony was at the Cappuccini monastery right outside of town, and the reception was at Il Caio (where we had our wedding reception). It was a perfect day, warm with just a few clouds, and the scenery was amazing. It was a beautiful, traditional Italian wedding, with lots of guests and tons of food. After eating way too much, the weeks that Andrea, Melissa and Dave were visiting, I could barely eat, let alone take pictures of the food. We sat at a fun table with some of David's friends. It was nice to be visiting Il Ciao again, it brought back memories of our special day there, and this visit I had time to play with the farm animals.
