Thankfully the scary thunderstorms of the night before had passed and the day of my sister's wedding dawned bright and beautiful - a great start to what would be a thoroughly enjoyable day for everyone. It was fun to take the Villa's private boat to the main town of Como where Jacqueline and Mark were to be married. Of course, there were lots of onlookers and many people were bidding good luck to the bride as we passed through the streets. It was a small, intimate wedding and after the short beautiful ceremony at the town hall, the whole party boarded the boat back to the Villa to start the celebrations. In true Italian style we gorged on umpteen courses of such delicious food, I can't really tell you how good it was! As all of you know, Martin and I enjoy good food, and we were just ABSOLUTELY blown away!
Martin was the official photographer, which, he said was harder work than he expected. He was grateful for some down time and was able to relax as, quite unlike most weddings, we all grabbed our swimsuits and spent the afternoon chilling out at the Villa's 30metre swimming pool (which was kind-of cool as it floats on the lake). Later, all the family and friends spent the evening grooving the night away on the lakeside patio to the Villa's band. Everyone had a ton of fun, and most importantly, the bride and groom had a perfect day! The night culminated with a few of the boys, Martin, Nick and the groom doing a midnight naked run through the "5-Star" sprinkler system to the delight of some of the neighbours! *Mush
