Small Big Italian Wedding

Wedding parties are often though as big parties, with plentiful amounts of food.

Two weeks ago, Anna and I went to the wedding party of Mariana and Jerônimo. A very small, though very sophisticated party.

For start, it all happened on their appartament, so the whole party wasn’t much bigger than a couple dozen people.

DJ Hisato’s music ranged from Bossa Nova to electronic, nicely chosen, matching with the whole concept. The concept itself was very modern.

Sometimes I wonder why people sometimes stick to traditions of centuries ago without giving them a touch of modernity. Not because marriage is a millenar tradition that one have to marry like people did centuries ago.

Now, in my opinion, what best showed the perfect blending of tradition and modernity was the buffet

The buffet was all pasta. Raviolli, Fetuccini, Spagetti and cappeletti lighly cooked, white souce, red sauce and a miriad of different things to put on, ranging from garlic and basil to a plentiful of different cheeses and, last but not least, two cooks to finish your plate, on real time.

It was like a small version of a big italian wedding. Cleverly joining style and the idea of a vast buffet over few ingredients, for few people almost reveal by itself that was a weding of a desinger with a computer scientist.
