**Official Italian Bride Thread**

Ciao bellas!!

I figured that we could start a thread like this--it should be fun..

What is some Italian "MUST PLAY" songs on your list???

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

Not Italian, but marrying one At FH's cousin's confirmation they played an Italian waltz that everyone danced to and I loved it. Is it just called "Italian Waltz" or does it have a specific name? Thanks!

Oh, another question: FILs want jordan almonds as part of the favor, and I've seen these cute flowers. Are they easy to make, or is it a better bet to buy them?

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

you could get the stuff from jordan almond flowers and make them yourself for like $1-$2as opposed to buying them for more $$$

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

FH is italian.

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

some must play are te amo(angelo venuto version) piccolo fiore, mama, volare..

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

i'm not one bit italian, hope you don't mind me crashing!! but i have to b/c i am marrying a 100% --parents from Italy-- Italian guy!!!

i'm having my band do Mambo Italiano b/c they sing that really well and i think that's it, is that not enough?? vinny (FH) is not really into it a lot... a little bit but nothing crazy, i think that song will be just enough for him! maybe an italian merlot bottle groom's cake or something...

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

Is there a website that has italian music that I can listen to and learn the names?

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

Ti Amo is being played at my wedding. It is my parent's wedding song. There will be other songs too.

I would be intersted to see if there is a site too, because there are some waltz' that are popular, but I can't find their names.

(In response to the Italian ust haves:) This could be a weird one, but we are having rabbit added to our cocktail hour.

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

i mean absolutly no disrespect by this

How much has everyone aloted for favors??
i know that most brides are doing an ice scream scoop/coasters things like that(those are some great favors)
i know how my family is and i don't know if anyone has the same kind of family.. but if they were given something liek that as a favor i think we would be the talk of the family.

so where is everyone looking but not spending a fortune?? or are you spending a fortune???

Santina...I danced with my father to Loretta Mia, but my band changed it to "Rosaria Mia"..

We had the seafood boat during CH, we also had tripe during CH, a fll Vianesse Hour, we had an Italian/American Band "The Strings" they are AMAZING so they played all tons of Italian music, slow and fast songs! The Strings are actually cousins with the members of 'Voices" (Angelo Venuto is the singer of that group)
I would say we had a very traditional Italian wedding. Iam 1st generation and my parents along with all my aunts and uncles were born in Italy.

Oh,, the day of the wedding, we had Jordan almonds displayed throughout the house. OUr favors were 2 cup espresso pot along with 2 demi tesse cups. WE incorporated our culture throughout the entire day and evening.

ETA: Italian families are FUN and proud and they make the parties that much better....

You can do 2 demi-tesse cups with the demi-tesse spoons for probably under 10.00
