I got to go to a wedding yesterday! A big fat Greek wedding! Well Greek-Italian really. My Italian cousin  married her Greek honey. We had a lot of fun. My parents drove up from Sudbury for it so we all went as a family. It was fun to see all the Greek traditions at the ceremony and the inside of that Orthodox church was so beautiful!

So how gorgeous is my cousin Antonella?

And all I can say about the reception is I’ve never seen so much food in all my life! LOL! I didn’t take any pictures of it but the decor was beautiful:

It was a 6-course Italian meal. Antipasto, manicotti, salad, and a big veal steak with veggies, then a kind of ice-cream cake dessert. How anybody could eat a whole meal like that and not explode is beyond me. I ate only the salad and the steak plate and I was stuffed! LOL! And just as they were clearing the last of the dessert plates from our tables and the dancing was about to begin, they start bringing out this massive spread of food on like 30 feet of buffet tables. Fruit platters, cakes and pastries of every sort, pizzas, even a whole giant roasted pig! It was unbelievable . . . and torturous since of course I couldn’t eat any of it with all my dietary restrictions LOL!

On a side note, Jesse Palmer of the Bachelor fame was there. He’s an Ottawan and I guess a friend of the groom’s. I had no idea who he was. Someone had to tell me cuz I never watch the Bachelor. However, for those of you who do, you might be interested to know he was not there with the woman from the show

So that was my big day yesterday. I’m kinda glad it’s over. With my parents here I was ejected from my bedroom and have had to sleep on the floor in the living room the last few nights. Add to that the late hour we got in last night and that makes for a very tired little Meesha. But lucky for me I get an extra day off! I don’t have to work tomorrow. Since I work across the river in the province of Québec I am subjected to their holidays and this weekend happens to be la Saint-Jean. So I have every intention of sleeping in very late and sitting my butt down at the computer the rest of the day. I think I’m gonna try and work on a few Canada day goodies to put in the shop. There’s gonna be a slew of red, white and blue American Independance stuff hitting the shelves this week and I’m always disapointed by the lack of Canada Day kits so perhaps I need to get crackin’ on that, eh?

Well have a good week everyone
