A fantastic restaurant
The evening
Morten and I were taken to a photo shoot around Rome
At first we went up the Gianicolo hill, were we had some pictures taken with Rome as a fantastic panoramic background.
We drove down to Trestevere (an old Roman neighborhood with quaint streets), where we were "dragged" around by the photographer, who took a lot of different pictures of us.
We got so much attention and congratulations, both by Italians (who love weddings) and by tourists.
Eventually we were driven to the Tiber, where we had the last pictures taken on the Tiberian island, with its beautiful bridge, the evening lights reflecting in the water and siiiighhh....
After the shooting, we were driven back to our hotel, where our guests were waiting for us. Most of our guests took a taxi to the Hotel Bernini, but Morten and I, my younger brother and the best man drove in the Rolls-Royce. It was really a great experience for them, especially my brother, who loves cars.
We took the elevator up to 8th floor and were greeted by the overwhelming view (it was especially fun to see our guests' reaction .... wow!).
We had pretty much the whole restaurant to ourselves (how lucky can you get). We were given welcome drinks and a small buffet consisting of a 8-9 different small canapés.
The restaurant had surprised us with a pianist who played subdued romantic music.
Before we moved inside, Morten asked him if he knew Eric Clapton "Wonderful Tonight" as this is our song (and some probably a few others too) and he did, of course. So we got to dance at our wedding!
So began the dinner, which we enjoyed inside.
First homemade pasta with lobster, then pasta with Porcini mushrooms and then the main course, Danish beef tenderloin with roasted potatoes and truffles.
For dessert we had chosen a small buffet with chocolate fondant, small traditional Italian pastries and fresh fruit (cut out as flowers) and finally the waiters brought in the wedding cake and coffee (need I say that now we were full?)
During dinner, several of our guests held some incredibly touching speeches straight from their hearts.
Morten swept me away with a beautiful speech, never
had he expressed his feelings with this much passion and I also managed me to
make a speech without crying.
As the clock neared 01:30 we were done, and Morten and I went back to our hotel room. Some of our guests continued to the city.
Morten and I did not sleep for a long time and just talked about our incredible day.
At 03:00, it was time for the wedding night (censorship).
