If Greeks, and especially Cretans, are known to celebrate a wedding for three consecutive days, Americans celebrate the wedding BEFORE the ceremony. Did you know about "the Rehearsal"? It is the last probe, a training for the actual wedding, held one day before in the same Church with the same Priest. This is needed to be done because a whole show, with couples walking up and down the Church, will take place.
After the Rehearsal a nice dinner took place at EPCOT, the futuristic town in Disney World, as Walt Disney himself had imagined it. We did not eat any alien food but the buildings themselves looked bizzare. We spoke some greek with the Steven, the groom AND Emily, the bride. They are heading for a Greek Honeymoon on Sunday the 12th.
At this point I will present the genealogy of our relatives in the USA:
The Grandfather Vangelis, born in Florina, Greece moved to US long ago. He married Stella from Kastoria, Greece and had 3 children:
1) Son Peter (died) had one daughter, Tina, which has a young son: Alex.
2) Daughter Tasoula married to Barney Cabral, that have 3 children:
Liza married to Kevin and they have 2 daughters.
Son Sean married to Negar and
Son Steven who is marriyng tomorrow with Emily!
3) Daughter Mary married to Luis, that have 2 sons: Michael and Nikos
Tomorrow we will go to the wedding. We will have a looong day, eating, dancing and... taking photos...
