Sorrento

I have so much to tell I'm about to explode.  The trip thus far has been unimaginably fabulous though not without  few glitches.  Welcome to travel and a wedding abroad.  The RD was a complete blast and featured a fire as well as a shooting sparkler type thing on the dessert.  The fire was courtesy of one od Benji's pals, Cam, who just happened to scoot his groomsman's gift a little too close to one of the lemon votive candles, and caught the tissue paper on fire.  One of our waiters, Chino, took one for the team putting it out--he burned his arm a tiny bit when he ran with it to the bar.  And let me just say that wasn't even cose to the funniest thing that happened that night!!  We closed the place down complete with dancing by the soon to be wed's, the parents, and a few of the other couples.  We were the last people there so the waiters all stood around laughing and smiling as we all danced to " baby making" music, as one of the gals termed it.

The flowers were adorable--small square vases with sliced lemons in the water, then tuberoses, light blue hydrangeas and white roses, and other stuff I can't remember right now.  Each one was a little different but similiar, using the lemons the area is known for, as the theme. 

 The florist even carved out the inside of several lemons, inserted a tea candle, and tucked tee tiny flowers along the outside edge, for further decoration.  Brett, Benji's best man saved the one Cam caught on fire as a memento to further torture Cam with, later.

I won't even try to describe the wedding yet.  Let's just leave it for later because I need a thesaurus to best describe it....OMG.  I will just tempt you by saying there was a bat involved and had I known it was a bat and not just a bird, it could have been really ugly.  Meanwhile, google Villa San Michelle, and think a tiny private are over looking Vesuvius, the Mediterranean, and Capri, with a black double tiered wrought iron candelabra I stole out of the chapel and set beside the officiant, before the wedding, and that's just the beginning.  Think flickering candles and two lovebirds .......oh, mercy.

More later.  Ciao!
