Wedding in Murano or Murano in the wedding
All she talks about is the wedding in Murano. The photos are all over you house and your daughter is sending you meaningful looks. So, as a good father would, you did a bit of research about Murano.An hour boat ride from the ancient Venice, in Italy, lies a small archipelago of five islands called Murano. Islands have been home to the most famous glassmakers in the world since 13th century. But, the romance of Murano does not end with its precious glass art. Its ancient palaces and churches are famous for its spectacular wedding ceremonies. The Wedding Hall of Murano is housed in the eight hundred years old byzantine palace, with a Gothic façade of red brick and tall windows looking over the lagoon at the Ponte Vivarini. Your daughter is getting married. Congratulations. You must be horribly busy trying to figure out how to organize her wedding without mortgaging your house and selling your first-born. On top of that, you have to choose a wedding gift. With your luck, your friends daughter just came back from her wedding/honeymoon in Italy.
