Several rules come with having an Italian wedding, I have discovered seven:
1. You must give a good sizable, rather expensive gift.
2. The wedding must be catholic.
3. Because the wedding is catholic, it must last 3 hours.
4. There will be a lot of food.
5. There will be a great amount of alcohol.
6. There will be no dancing.
7. And finally, you must smile, because really, you are just happy.
I had the great experience of seeing an Italian wedding. Hints for foreigners, not the same as in the movies. But still quite romantic. The reception has the couple making the first toast, and we followed them to different lawns, into different rooms, for different portions of the mail. You doesn't want candle light on a starry night to say the I do's. (Well, in Italy it's actually "si")
I just so happened to go to this wedding with my own romantic gentleman. The kind that offers you the chair when there is only one, and runs to tell the waiter you are vegan, and cannot eat this food. Yep, I got myself a good. A good one, I told I'd rather stick to the American tradition when it comes to weddings.
