Another one (cousin) bit the (virtual) dust!

Yesterday (September 10, 2005), my cousin Andrea married his beloved Giada! and so he's left the sad consuming condition of bachelor to enter in the honeysh world of marriage (!) :D

We had a fatiguing but terrific day, having to look elegant for 11 hours in a row, fighting with Rome's traffic, and having the air conditioning system of the car aptly failing just two days ago; but we endured all the adversities, waiting for the dinner to come! ;-)

The wedding was very good and moving, in a wonderful church right in the center of Rome, and the bride, well, she was astoundingly beautiful, and well, half of the people present were my relatives, so 50% of the guests looked exageratedely cool... I guess we have to live with the fact we were the *other* half, the ugly ones... :-)

After the ceremony, we were basically stuffed with tons of food in a wonderful place in the very center of Rome, Palazzo Brancaccio, which is a marvel not to be believed if not seen; problem is that, well, a couple of us, namely *me* and Luca, we are still bachelors, and the husband and bride didn't think about inviting some promising prey to help us on our way to a similar day (they had mercy on us, maybe? :D
Me and Luca kept wondering around, until at 8' a Torino-Milano (a Martini based cocktail) got the best of me, and since then, to midnight, it was all downhill to me... :D

All of the best luck and happyness to the newly married and beloved!
(which they for sure need! Andrea, the husband, in a desperate attempt to reach the church on time, was "timed" at over 180km/h by the local police force, pulled over, and had his driving licence on the spot, but with lots of good wishes for the outcome of the marriage!)


Also, some pictures of the event:

Last, but not least, an unknown relative of the husband whose elegance shadowed everybody else.
A model from a fashion agency maybe?
