Greek Wedding

I was invited to go to Greece with KT as her tag along for Jason's wedding. It was the most incredible country. I could go back year after year. We started in Athens, traveled to Mykonos and then to Kefalonia, with stopovers in London and Madrid.

So while Shaun was off in Montana, I was at the Parthenon. The New Museum of the Acropolis was not yet open but Kelly and I soaked ourselves in the history of Athens, it was beautiful. I thought a lot about John and Thalia and wished we had kept in touch... the food was incredible and after one day I was in love with this country.

I must say I was not expecting to love Mykonos, after hearing about it's reputation of a party town, but party we did. It was a culture I could learn to love. Food, drink, fun, beaches. We were in paradise, not sure how I can top the trip thus far until...Kefalonia.

Here we visited: Mirtos, Fiskardo, Assos, Argostoli, Agia Efima

We took a tour set up by Jason's family, we had dinners, activities, all set sail. The NYU Business Crew was a blast. Kelly knows how to plan a vacation!

The wedding ceremony was beautiful and I didn't feel like a stranger. I felt that we were the only ones in the town. We gathered in Antipata and the reception took place here at Anastasi church.

I also learned about Koufeta, the white symbolizes purity and the egg shape of the almonds representes fertility and the new life which begins a marriage. The hardness of the almond represents the endurance of marriage and the sweetness of sugar symbolizes the sweetness of future life. The odd number of almonds is indivisible, just as the the bride and the groom shall remain undivided.
