Wedding day morning started out innocuously enough, as we walked down to Piazza del Campo for breakfast and cappucini. We only had two main goals for the day (one goal for each of us), before dressing and leaving Palazzo Ravizza to arrive at Piazza del Campo and the town hall by 4:45. Little did we know how much these two simple tasks would take out of us before the day was over.
Nancy's task was time consuming, but simple to achieve. The hotel had made an appointment for her to get a manicure, pedicure, hairstyling & makeup at a nearby salon at 1:00 PM.
My task was simple enough: find a formal black bowtie, since I had somehow arrived in Italy with every part of my tux, except the bowtie. How hard could it possibly be to find a formal bowtie? The hotel had given me two shops in town where I was sure to find one. I would wait until I was certain Nancy was settled in for her appointment, then I would set out, quickly tackle my task, and take the rest of the afternoon to relax.
Nancy grabbed a bath before her appointment, so I propped my feet up in the garden, and started to catch up on some blogging while I waited & relaxed (picture above). After all, I had all the time in the world for a 5-minute task.
Soon enough, we were on our way to the salon, at which none of the ladies spoke a lick of English. I made sure she was settled, and started out to buy my tie.
