From a childhood friend of the bride!

Fabiola Fujiwara ha detto...
We all grew up together in Brazil, we used to play all the time...some of Cecilia's favorite things to do, at least the ones that I remember were Barbies (yes, it is embarrassing, but we played for hours). We loved the pool, specially at night, when we pretend to fall in the pool, so we could swim at night...we used to make up plays, skits and dances, and have our parents and guests as the audience... and we CHARGED them too! Tennis... off course, which was inevitable, since our parents were fanatics... so many good memories, that it's hard to put all here. Our friendship is very special and these memories will always stay with me... I am so glad that my family and I, will be able to celebrate this important day with Cecilia and her family.

Message from the toastmaster - Donato

Ciao a tutti!

Mi è stato chiesto di "fungere" da toastmaster (o maestro di cerimonie) al matrimonio di GuidoCecilia...
Uno dei miei compiti sarà quello di "dirigere" il "traffico" di coloro che vogliono effettuare un brindisi e dare loro parola (secondo la migliore tradizione nord-europea). Chiederei, perciò, a tutti coloro che volessero brindare ai neosposi di "preparare" una introduzione al brindisi (magari ricordando momenti vissuti insieme ad uno degli sposi oppure comunicando la propria felicità ecc. ecc.) in modo da rendere il brindisi stesso più "personale" e meno anonimo di un semplice "Evviva gli sposi!" o "Cin-cin!" che rimangono sempre bene accetti come conclusione del brindisi stesso, dopo aver invitato gli altri partecipanti ad alzarsi in piedi per brindare alla felicità degli sposi.Salute!
Donato

Hallo everybody!
I have been asked to be toastmaster at GuidoCecilia’s wedding... I have to regulate the “traffic” of all those wishing to toast and give the word to them (according to the best northern European tradition). Therefore, I would kindly ask all those wishing to toast to the couple to prepare in advance an introduction to the actual toasting (either by remembering some moments shared with the bride /the groom or by communicating your personal happiness in sharing the wedding with the couple and so on). The reason of my request is to make the toasting more “personal” and less anonymous as, for example, just by saying “Cheers” or “Hurray for the couple”: both toasts will be welcome, as conclusion to the introduction to the toast, after inviting all the participants to stand up to toast to the happiness of the couple.

Cheers!
Donato
