Third Wedding for the year

This year has been a year of celebrations. I have attended more weddings, engagements and birthday parties than any other year of my existence (and a couple more to go before the year is done). But last night I attended a wedding celebration for a very special couple who are already married!

My beautiful cousin Lili married her life partner Paolo, back in August of this year... in Italy. You see, they came to Australia from Italy a few years ago and stayed. They have settled in Adelaide, and so I have grown to love these two as much as if I had grown up with them. They went back to Italy to be married in front of all their family and friends. But because they are such a great couple, they have forged many amazing relationships here. Many of the Oz contingent wanted to go over to Italy and celebrate their wedding with them (including me), but logistically it wasn't possible.

So Lili and Paolo decided to have a wedding celebration just for us here in Australia. Guests even came all the way from Sydney for it. (Which proves how special these two are.) We had a great night, ate great food, and participated in their wedding by viewing a slideshow of the wedding in Italy.

For the third time this year... I really wish the couple a lifetime of happiness. They are already on the right track. If you see L&P together it appears as if they fall in love with each other every week. If I don't find a relationship like that, I'm not sure I actually want one at all...
