Thanks everyone! Yeah, I got a kick out of this ad. "The real flavor of Rome," indeed! The big date is in March--I'm getting things together slowly, but surely. It's a huge church so it's kind of intimidating, but it really is our "neighborhood church" and our absolute favorite church in all of Rome. Beautiful mosaics from the 1200s. Supposedly the first church where mass was celebrated openly in Rome.
Ebony: Thanks! You're always so sweet.
East of Oregon: Thanks for stopping by; I'll be by to visit you soon!
Gracie: TomKat, exactly! How did you know? Actually, we did have an appt. at the place where they had a reception the night before their wedding (Villa Aurelia), because it's close to our church, thinking we might have our reception there. We choked on the price. I think it was going to be like €6,000 or something like that, just for the ROOM! Nothing else! Not chairs, not a coat closet. Even lighting in the evening was €500 extra!!
I'll keep you posted on the wedding progress every once in a while. ;-)
In 2001, my one-month "Roman Holiday" to take a break between jobs in the US and study Italian in Italy became a way of life after I fell in love with both this city and my husband, who I met the first day I arrived. (It happens when you're not looking!) After stints teaching English as a second language and directing a US university study abroad center, I moved back to the States for 3 years, had three kids, and eventually came back to Rome. Looks like I'm here to stay. Join me at my new blog, unamericanaaroma.com.
