A Puglia Christening

This weekend I had the chance to experience a real Puglia christening.

After the ceremony at one of the (many) local churches, myself and my boyfriend's family headed to a lovely little restaurant in my town for some lunch. I say some lunch. Actually it was probably one of the biggest lunches I have ever had. In my entire life.I almost had to be rolled out of the restaurant.

The food was great, as was the wine and the company. We spent a total of 4 hours eating, drinking and generally being quite merry. Here are a few pics for you!

Yes, the dessert photos are bigger..ahem...

The beautiful boy :)

 As you can see, the food was delicious. Excessive? Yes. But definitely delicious. I've yet to experience a one, but I've heard that this was nothing compared to a traditional southern Italian wedding...

I recently posted about a great new dress that I picked up from the very purse friendly Oviesse. Well, last weekend it has its first official outing, and a religious outing at that.

Paired with a scarf and heels (which I deeply regretted later, as I discovered we had to walk A LOT and up HILLS and on COBBLES), it was perfect for my boyfriend's niece's christening.

His other nieces look pretty cute too, don't they? ;)
