Eli and Gio’s wedding: food and more food for a great celebration

The reason for our trip to Montreal was the awaited wedding of Eli and Gio. Eli is Matthew’s oldest friend, and of course we could not miss this event, even if that implied flying around the world to arrive on time. And so many trips and so many kilometres were definitely worth it. The events started on Wednesday, with a general rehearsal and a great and abundant dinner in a Greek restaurant. Stag night on Friday (to which, of course, only men were invited) and pre-wedding dinner on Saturday, allowed us to get ready for the big day. Sunday 17 woke up looking grey and rainy, but the rain decided to ally with us and only fell during the morning and the ceremony in the synagogue allowing us to enjoy the cocktail that was served at Eli’s house and the delicious (and again abundant) Italian dinner served in Bice’s terrace, interspersed by speeches, including Matthew’s best man speech. As expected from a great foodie as Eli and an Italian tradition like Gio’s, dinner was amazing and we were still digesting at the time of the last event: the brunch we were invited to the following day at the groom’s house…. Gosh, I think I can’t eat any more bagels!
