wedding of Yiannis and Yianna  

Because of the marriage of Yiannis and Yianna, 2 friends of us from Kos, we have been to Langadas from 11-04-2004 till 15-04-2004. The wedding was on Easter-Monday.

Yiannis picked us up from the airport of Thessaloniki the Saturday before. The days before the wedding with him and other wedding-guests we spent a lot of time in several bars and restaurants.

Saturday, after the Easter ceremony in church, we went to Yianna's parents at midnight for the traditional Easter-diner; of course including the Magaritsa. As long as you don't think of or look at what you are eating, it is no problem to eat it.

Next day Yiannis told my wife and me that a lot of guests were surprised we, together with an Italian friend the only non-Greeks that night, joined several dances. They supposed Greece has to be close to our hearts. (And that's right.)  
 
 
 
After the professional band left we spent several hours with a small company playing, singing and dancing.
