Still haven't decided on a dad song or favors..I really don't want to hand out mikasa b/c everyone does that, can anyone help????

---

I had the same problem with the dad song but the ladies here were helpful so I may have found mine, but here are some others too.

Here are the popular ones: Lauretta Mia, Figlia Mia,

Favors I think there are some cute things out there, like pepper and salt shakers, bowls, vases, trays. There is always the espresso maker (the stovetop one) or the espresso cups. Just to name a few.

Good luck!

I'm so excited that there are so many of us out there!!!!

My parents are from Bagnara, Calabria - I've been there 3 times and itis beautiful. Love a turre (sp?)

Still haven't decided on a dad song or favors..I really don't want to hand out mikasa b/c everyone does that, can anyone help????

p.s. we're having the tripe at our CH and i cant wait - the first time my fi ate dinner at my parents house, i convinced him to try some tripe...yeah, he spit it out in his napkin in front of my dad. i was mortified but figured he must be the one b/c at least he wasn't fake like most guys...

Aiuta me!!! Songs and favors - suggestions? I live in FL so I can't hop over the bridge to the sposa store, do they have a website? Floridians have no clue about Italian NY wedding favor requirements....

My mother was born here But speaks better then most... my dad came here about 26 years ago on vacation met my mom and never went back LOL im 100% sicilian from Carini & Parlemo ...

Get out you live in Fl or you live in NY? FH wants to Move to FL LOL i havent decided yet if i can leave .. do your parents live here or in FL? LOL I would have spit the Tripe out TOO LMAO Ya im not crazy about iT lol....
Favors i haven't decided yet you want something different... How about a Bottle of wine ? LOL italians Love wine

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

I moved to fl 3 yrs ago, didn't think i'd like it as much as i do, but it's not that bad...i was thinking about wine, but im not a conoussier (sp?) so not sure which kind to go with.

personally i love the coaster pic frames but i know my family would talk and talk and talk if i did that, even though they'd be cute with a thank u pic from us in the top coaster.

anyway, if u need fl info for the north east, let me know...house prices are really reasonable, but the pay ***** in most areas!

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

Jandt...
I think I may have found the lyrics to Figlis Mia but my italian is not that good to translate.....

Com'eri bella ieri sera
quando sei uscita figlia mia
com'eri strana
ieri sera quando sei tornata figlia mia
com'eri bella ieri sera
quando sei uscita figlia mia
com'eri strana
ieri sera non sembravi neanche figlia mia
cos'e' successo nel frattempo
cos'e' successo figlia mia
cos'e' cambiato in quel momento
cos'e' cambiato figlia mia
cos'e' cambiato ?
Qual'e' la verita'
qual'e' la situazione
con chi sei andata via
con quale mascalzone
cosa ti han fatto ieri sera
eri cosi' dolce figlia mia
come ti conci quanto e' sera
non sei certo piu' la bimba mia
vuoi sempre uscire andare in giro
ma non sai che fuori figlia mia
ci sono lupi per la strada
che da me ti stan portando via
non ci cascare
hee hee
la sola verita' e' che non devi andare
e chi ci provera' lo vengo ad ammazzare
se c'e' una verita' non la vorro' sapere
perche' la verita' m'ha sempre fatto male.

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

I have a ton of people coming in from Italy for my wedding. I'm so excited. I need to work on Italian traditions for the wedding. Would you do a menu in Italian for these guests?

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**

I would love to incorporate some of our italian heritage in the wedding rather than just songs...what have you girls done or will do at your weddings besides just the italian music?
