I'm getting married in Sept 2004 - but my FMIL is going down to Greece on Sunday - is there anything I should DEFINETLY have her bring back from Greece for the wedding??? I don't know when the next relative will be going down. Any ideas?

Re: Greek Brides??
None that I know of....DH didn't want to use Mana Mou either b/c it's the song you always hear but it fit him and his mom so well that they used it. My dad and I used an old Greek song called Moro Mou that was really sweet. Maybe it can be used for a mother/son dance?

Re: Greek Brides??
Hi! I'm so excited. DH & I leave for Greece in a week and half. We are going to see the Olympics too! I'm soooo looking forward to it. I thought I was going to have a lazy summer, since being laid-off, but it has been nothing of the sort.
To be honest, I don't even know what the name of the song that my dad and I danced too. The band told me it was a usual for a father/daughter and DH used Mana Mou for the mother/son dance.

Re: Greek Brides??
I'm so jealous, I wish I was going to Greece this summer! The last time I was there was '02 & I miss it and unfortunately we won't be going next summer either due to our honeymoon.
Other than Athens, where else are you going?

Re: Greek Brides??
We are only spending a limited amount of time in Athens. See the games and out! I'm not very fond of Athens. Then we are going to Xios (DH's origins) for a little over a week and finally to Lamia (where my family is from).
I'm hoping that we can travel further north like up to Halkidiki, but we'll play it by ear. I have never been any further north then Lamia.

Re: Greek Brides??
You're going to have a great time! I would love to see some of the pictures you take at the Olympics!
I love Halkidiki, more so than any of the islands. You should also go by Thessaloniki if you go that north, it's my favorite city, but then again I'm biased since I'm from there.
Have a very safe trip!!

Re: Greek Brides??
Have a wonderful time in Greece. I'm so jealous. I just got back from vacation myself. Now, it's back to work....boo hoo.
I've been to Halkidiki too...it is absolutely beautiful. The beaches are incredible.
Since you are from Lamia, I'm sure you know this but you can also take a ferry boat from Agios Kostandinos or Kamena Vourla (not sure which one) to Skiathos.....beautiful as well.
Have fun!

I'm here also, I had to take the day off from work today to register for classes, I start grad school on Monday!!! I'm actually excited, but I'm sure I'll be taking that back the end of next week.
I can't believe summer is almost over!

Thanks! I started yesterday & everything went ok, now I have my second class on Thursday night, I'm just so anxious for the first few weeks to be over, I graduated college in 2000 & I just don't know how I'm going to adjust to studying again.
I'm so excited FH & I finally booked our photographer on Saturday! Now we still have to book the florist, limos & I have to start looking for my dress, I haven't even begun to look!
Do any of you have pictures of how the church was decorated for the wedding? If so can you please post them?
Thanks!!
