Today is Ferragosto or the Assumption Day (the day that the Catholics celebrate the Virgin Mary going up to heaven). In Italy, it's one of the biggest holidays of the year (probably only second to Pasqua) and it's also the occasion to eat A LOT of food! Gilda, my mother-in-law, made a reservation for the whole family to have our Ferragosto lunch today at La Polena, where we'll have the reception. I was really suprised by how beautiful it was and am so excited to be celebrating our wedding there.
Mimmo with his parents, Salvatore and Gilda
Manuela, Mimmo's niece and my flower girl
I'm laughing because Tulio had to take 3 pics to get to this one
Tulio, Mimmo's youngest brother and Teresa, Mimmo's sister
Antonio, Mimmo's brothers that lives in New Jersey, and the twins, Salvatore and Manuela (Teresa's kids)
The Whole Russo Clan (well, almost... Rossano, Mimmo's other brother is in New Jersey and Teresa's husband is overseas for work)
