Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
Let’s take this one step further and say not just computers, but a cell phone as well. I would live a more solitary life with my family, focusing on being in nature and really living very simply. And to enjoy life and everything around us.
It’s a pretty short and sweet answer, but it’s me.
Ciao!
My sister-in-law and her now husband had a beautiful wedding in August. They spent a lot of time, effort, imaging and major organization to have their dream wedding. To be honest, it was spectacular for the time that we were able to spend at it.
As previously statement, our day was cut short because Valeria wasn’t well, so we had to leave prior to dinner. But let’s recap what we did experience!
They rented out a bed and breakfast for their guests, and that is where we all got ready for the day. My make-up and hair stylist were incredible and the whole team that was there were incredible, friendly and so professional. I’d used this company before with my own cousin’s wedding, but they are always amazing and I have to say….I looked stunning! I put on my heels, dress and looked like the perfect goth queen!
Photos were taken both at the bed and breakfast and the venue for the wedding/reception. After photos at the B&B, we all drove over to the venue. The entrance to the venue was set up for photos, and it was sparkly and bright and beautiful. The entrance to the reception hall was closed off with sliding doors, but Valeria was so fussy we needed a quiet place to go, so….we sneak inside for quiet. The wedding coordinator noticed us sitting and guided us to a quiet back room instead. It was a blessing.
But I have to say…
The reception hall decorations were magical! Their theme was based on their astrological signs and the stars, I can’t remember exactly what they called the theme to be fair. Their colours were navy blue, soft pink and if I’m not mistaken gold. The dance floor even had a custom decal sticker on it with their initials. All incredible to say the least.
We were able to calm Valeria down and got her to sleep long enough for us to enjoy the wedding ceremony, which was held outside at sunset. The gazebo was decorated with floral and lights, and the ceremony was short, sweet and funny. Their vows were very personal and touching.
After the ceremony was done, back up to the reception hall for cocktail hour, in which Valeria took a turn for the worst. My husband and I decided than and there we were leaving, but we both ran around trying to find some quiet and to soothe her.
But before we could leave, my husband and his brother had to do a “Bride Napping”, so it’s a tradition apparently and not something I’m familiar with to be honest. But the concept is, a family member or members kidnaps the bride and demands ransom from the husband to get her back, to prove he would do anything for her. It was all a little skit, but apparently people loved it and my husband had some speaking lines. I however missed the whole thing. Once he was done, he found me outside singing and rocking Valeria as she slept and than we got in the car and left.
After we heard all about it from family and they said the music was amazing, their first dance was beautiful, etc. We were sorry we missed it because it was an event we were so looking forward to.
Though it sounds like it was the wedding of the year!
I wish them all the love and happiness in the world and we appreciated being part of their day, even for a short time.
Ciao!
