L'annuncio

Prima o poi glielo avremmo dovuto dire al mondo, così abbiamo aspettato un tempo minimo di sicurezza e poi lo abbiamo detto a suoceri e genitori.
Un pranzo dai miei ci ha fatto da base:
D: sapete, da novembre mi daranno una promozione molto importante..e definitiva.
Mamma: aaah che bello! che promozione?
D: …divento papà

---ammutolimento generale, occhi sgranati, brividi---

Babbo: ..no dai, adesso dimmi la promozione vera su!
Mamma: (mani sulla faccia e occhi sbarrati) MA MA MA ma io mi sono appena fatta un tatuaggio! non sono pronta!
Fratello: (con sorrisone) che figata!!

E' andata, e da lì non ci è voluto molto prima che lo dicessimo a parenti e amici, e adesso che il mio ombelico se ne sta andando e la pancia cresce dal giorno alla notte, non vedo l'ora di abbracciarli i miei cuccioli! E ci siamo tutti lasciati andare, passata la morfologica, la nonna A ci ha regalato due tutine deliziose, la nonna M due bavaglini scherzosi e due tutine le abbiamo prese pure noi. Trattenere gli occhi a cuore è sempre più difficile!

Our Special Day, Marriage! #2

Hi Everybody!

I'm so sorry for not posting, but now I have lots of picture to show you of our special day!

Can you see the blue flowers? I love them, they are perfect with gypsophila !(thank you mom!)

Here my cousin Silvia is bringing the speech to my father : a big pack of paper! 

My father looking for the speech inside the pack..he likes joking too much :-)

A picture with ours parents, do you like my mother's dress (red one) ? I think she was wonderful! 

My parents and my brother with his girlfriend 

The restaurant

Landscape from the restaurant

Carved Grana Padano cheese, with flower and ours name  

This is our table, with some of the flowers my mom made as decoration

Other flowers made with Fanta plastic bottle 

Menu and name of this table : we decided to choose a poet for each table and David chose one poetry per table

My precious bouquet and the bobbin-lace handkerchief that David's grandmother made for me (to hold the bouquet)

Carved watermelons ...

 ...and...the wedding cake! 

 We chose an ice-cream cake

A friend of us, Marica made the statuettes with "fimo", I can't translate it... it is something similar to the Plasticine, but you have to put it in the oven to harden it. 

What do you think about the pictures? I think we had a really wonderful and precious wedding, nothing was wrong! We are really really happy of our work! 

Have a nice weekend! 

Kisses 

Wedding gifts! #1

We are waiting for the 1st of September, the wedding day! We made almost all the thing we had to do for the organization and we can't wait to see our guests and family which will join us from Spain, Portugal, England and Italy of course!
On Monday two of my maids of honour (we will celebrate one wedding in Italy -the civil one- and one in Spain -the religious one- so we have more than two maid and man of honour ) Anna and Lara which are also two of my closest friends came here for dinner and -surprise!- they bring us our first wedding gift! You had to see my face when I opened the box. Maybe once I said them I would like to buy it because I love it, and its design but yesterday I really dindn't expect it !

Ta-daaaaaaa

The wonderful, original, irresistible, red one, Kitchen Aid !!!!! 

Perfect in our kitchen! 

We were in the living room and I started to jump all around for the happiness! And I had tears in my eyes!

My lovely friends, I really adore them, said that from today onwards I will have to cook them cakes and biscuits for breakfast. Well, consider it done! 

Thank you so much my dear friends! 

We made me (and Dvd of course) soooo happy :-)

Goodbye

Hello sweeties,
I came back in Parma yesterday night, I spent last 10 days at home with my family and yesterday we said goodbye for the last time to my dear Grandpa, who died on Monday 20th in the morning. I'm a little bit sad but I'm proud of my Grandma because she decide to donate his organs and now three people could begin a new life. This help me to make a sense to a sudden and unexpected death.
I will remember my Granpa forever and I will honour him making the things I always made with him and with all the family.
I show you this picture (2 years ago in January), where you can see Dvd with my Granpa Luigi, absorbed in the fine art of making sausages (yes, every year we make sausages, ham and other delicious things with pork meat).

Pain

I've always hoped Grandparents were immortal. But on Saturday I received a terrible piece of news. My Grandpa falled down and banged his head. He had headache so he went to rest. Actually he had a brain haemorrhage. Because of an anticoagulant medicine that he has to take for his heart, doctors could do little or nothing to stop haemorrhage. They gave him a medicine to contrast anticoagulant medicine, but it doesn't work.
Now we only have to wait. Doctors says we can't hope for something good, because his brain is completely ruined. We can see him only half hour per day, for 5 minutes. And I don't know neither if I can see him when I will come back home because there are at least three meter of snow, and roads are almost not practiable and the hospital is in another town.
So, I can do nothing, I would like to go to my grandma house, to console and help her. But she lives in the countryside and now it's really difficult to go there. But this is Life and we can only wait.
