Auguri agli sposi!

My friend Elisa married her lovely beau (bello?) Francesco on April 30, so we kicked off Part II of our trip with our annual trip to Florence.  Elisa was a classical beauty in a dress that suited her perfectly, and Francesco was looking very dapper himself, full of a frenetic energy that we’ll assume was excitement. They had a long traditional Catholic wedding, with a bit of whimsy thrown in with musical choices like Abba’s I Have a Dream. They lucked out with the weather, and we spent the afternoon on the grounds of Museo Stibbert’s lemonaia, eating, drinking, and celebrating the happy couple!

In all our finery

The happy couple

Great location for a sweetheart table

Elisa's niece Benedetta was the perfect attendant

This was the tastiest wedding cake we've ever had (it was a millefoglie)

Pop!
