FOTN / Anniversary Dinner

Good Afternoon Ladies!

Couple of weeks ago, it was my first wedding anniversary so we went out for dinner to celebrate.

We ate at a Scottish restaurant in the westend of Glasgow, called Bothy; i had salmon with pearl barley, crayfish and lemon risotto and an amazing warm pear and coconut tart... Definitely want to eat this food again!

Wedding Post - Venues & Car

Richard and I had a church wedding - Richard is not catholic so we had a mixed ceremony, meaning we couldn't do the communion but for the rest was pretty similar to a traditional catholic wedding.

I think everybody enjoyed it - the priest, which married us, is quite funny and It went quite fast so I think people didn't get bored. Also, he invited one of his friends (other priest), which spoke English, to 'co-host' so the ceremony was a mix of both languages and everybody could get involved.

 There are, actually, 2 churches in the main square of my hometown; we picked the smaller one because we're having a small wedding, but also because it's the same church my parents got married, 33 years ago.

The car... yeah, you may have spotted it: I knew, from the start, that I wanted a vintage Fiat 500, which is my favourite car of all time -I want one!!!
People kinda tried to change my mind or advised that it was too small... but other brides used it before and in the end, it worked very well!
On the way there, I was sitting in the front and after the ceremony, on the way to the restaurant, me and Richard could fit fine in the back and had a driver.

After the wedding, we moved to the restaurant which was only about 10 minutes from the church, in the countryside.
The restaurant is called Tenuta Canta and it's an old converted barn, refurbished in a rustic style.
They, also, have their own organic products and grow goats, chickens... plus, it's a mini B&B (only 6-7 rooms), ideal for some of our out-of-town guests.
It looks very pretty for photos, too. :)

Our 'get-together' anniversary was back in October. We've been going to Jamie's Italian for the last couple of years... it's pretty pricey so we end up going once a year, really. I think the food is really good, tho; my favourite dishes include Polenta Chips and Tagliatelle with Truffle Oil. Man, I'm hungry again! ;)

Richard (my boyfriend) and I went for dinner at Corinthian tonight; I had sea bass and he ate steak. Food was quite nice, but portions were tiny and so disappointing that i didn't even dare order a dessert. 

Btw, I bought an handbag hook in the afternoon: i always wanted one, they seem to be useful, practical and safe; when you go to a restaurant, you never know where to put your bag and it ends up on the floor (CRIMINAL!!!)... and so finally found one in a cool design.

Also found in the mail box my new hard drive. Richard's is a WD, so I got one too... in red... so pretty! =P

I, originally, wanted the other model in metallic red but couldn't find it in 320gb, and also got a good price on amazon.
