Wedding Portfino

Mary Aldridge & Philpp Smith
Wedding Portofino - September 22rd, 2009

Hi Giorgia

First of all we want to thank you for organizing the day yesterday, and for taking a great active role in it. Without your help and effort it would not have happened so nicely or smoothly. Special thanks to Alberto, for bearing with us through the lengthy vows...that was not easy.

After we split yesterday, we headed to Portofino and walked through the town towards the church on the hill.  There were soo soo many photos taken, and the photographer that was recommended to you by Anna-Lisa was so passionate and determined to get best angles, best shots...oh and so so many of them. We would highly recommend him to you for the future!

After we dropped off the photographer, as planned, we headed to the Cezare's restaurant on the hill, were we were greeted with a nice welcome and fabulous service (exactly what we needed, friendly and recognizing our day, but not making a big fuss about it). Food we had was very authentic, and while sometimes that may work better for Mr. Smith than for Mrs. Smith, this time selection of appetizers was soo huge, primi pasta with funghi and pesto was awesome, and entree of the local white fish was probably best piece of white fish either one of us ever had. Topped off with a simple Wedding Cake and wine from Aunt Rena...and of course unbelievable view...it was a dinner to remember forever. Thank you for recommending the right place and organizing all the other details that together made for a great experience to remember.

So all in all we are very happy with our day yesterday, and are looking forward to the rest of our vacation in Europe and rest of our lives together.

So that's about it from us...tonight we will go to Portofino for dinner if the rain holds off.

Thank you once again, and it was great to meet you both yesterday. If you are ever in Boston, please do contact us!

Ciao for now...grazie per tutto!!!

Mary
