WEdding in Lake Como

Part 1

ARRIVING IN COMO

We embarked on a morning flight to Milan from Sicily, making a train transfer at Milan Airport to reach Como Station. The journey was quite extensive, and regrettably, the weather wasn't cooperating. Upon checking in at our lodgings, La Perla, I indulged in a solitary walk around Como city, savoring some exclusive time for photography.

JOURNEY AROUND COMO

On the morning of the wedding day, I woke up early, well before the ceremony, and took a bus to explore most of the towns around Lake Como. I had no intention of wasting precious time sleeping in, and the favorable weather allowed me to tour around, capturing some beautiful photographs along the way.

WEdding in Lake como

After finishing my tour around Como, I met up with my friends for lunch. Subsequently, we all returned to the accommodation to change for the wedding. Once we were ready, it took about an hour to reach the wedding venue. Furthermore, wearing a black tie under the summer weather in Italy proved to be quite a challenge.
Nonetheless, whenever there is a wedding, it feels like a reunion to me. There's a lot of catching up with friends whom I haven't met in a long time, especially considering that most of us reside in different parts of the globe. 
AS EVIDENT FROM THE VIDEO BELOW, EVERYONE IS ENDURING THE SWELTERING HEAT UNDER THE BLAZING SUN ON A HOT SUMMER DAY IN LAKE COMO.

After Party on film

I documented numerous moments on film during the after-party, although the celebration might not have matched the spectacle of the ones my other friends experienced in the Hong Kong Disney hotel, at least from my perspective. Nonetheless, as most attendees were in high spirits, fully enjoying the festivities, they appeared unperturbed by any minor details.

INDEED, AS WE ARE GETTING OLDER, AN INCREASING NUMBER OF MY FRIENDS ARE SETTLING DOWN WITH THEIR PARTNERS, AND SOME OF THEM ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN. The more weddings I attend, the more I sense that time has flown by, and people have evolved in different ways. Some have grown apart, some seem to have aged in reverse, and others have matured in a very pragmatic manner.

At the end, I should congratulate the newly wedded couple and wish them a happily ever after. i, myself have a wonderful time in the wedding, and once again thank you for invited me to your wedding.
