So Glad To Be Back

September 26th, 2007 @ 6:18 pm by Mrs. Corn

Hi there, Weddingbee readers. Mr. Corn and I are finally back from Italy and we had a wonderful, wonderful time. We started out on the Island of Capri and visited Sorrento and Pompeii. Then we had a quick jaunt through Naples to find the most amazing pizza ever for lunch before hopping on a train to Rome. After a few days we headed to Orvieto, thanks to weddingbee reader, Tracinda, who sent us a suggestion to go there a few months ago. We stayed there overnight and then rented a car and drove through the Tuscan hillsides to Florence, where we hopped a train to Venice where we stayed for the remainder of our trip.

It was so great to be able to go away for a long enough time to forget what day of the week it was. It was also really, really great to spend so much time with Mr. Corn since he travels during the week for work so we normally only get the weekends together.

Below are some highlight pics. I hope all of your wedding plans are continuing to go well and much congratulations to you ladies who have gotten hitched since I have been away.

The most. amazing. pizza. EVER!! If you have read ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ by Elizabeth Gilbert and/or Rick Steve’s guide book for Italy, you have heard of this place and I can back up their claims!!

Locanda Palazzone, a beautiful bed and breakfast just outside of Orvieto.

Breakfast with a view!

Omigosh! I was the one that suggested Orvieto and Locanda Pallazone! How exciting that you went there! Wasn’t that view from the patio area amazing! And I thought the town was so quaint and cute, So glad to hear that your Italy trip was amazing! I love Italy and my husband and I can’t wait to get back there!

Welcome back. I am so excited to go to Italy. Your pictures only fuel that feeling.

This is an odd question and I haven’t figured out how to PM here yet, but do you have a promotion code for Wilshire Graphics Press. I am ordering a custom embosser and trying to find a code and I believe you used them for the monogram.

Welcome back and congratulations Mrs. Corn! Your honeymoon looks amazing - Italy is just magical. I’ve been twice, but the last time was 10 years ago and I can’t get back soon enough. Eat, Pray, Love is one of my favorite books I’ve read in the last year and I can’t believe you got to eat that same fabulous pizza! Looking forward to hearing about your wedding.
