Getting married in Siena

Not sure if he'll do it but that chap Richard from Leeds in the Casa del Sole series, (now I think called Great Italian Escape?) is a wedding DJ. His wife Sarah is a Forum member using the name Casa del Sole for herposts, so check the alphabetcal listings.

Oh don't use one of those - they are even worse than not speaking any Italian! All I said was -

Tanti auguri per il vostro matrimonio. Attenzione - non fare le nozze coi fichi secchi - va bene?

Which translates as "Many good wishes for your marriage" and " Be careful - don't make a wedding with dry figs" - which is an Italian "proverb" and means "enjoy yourself and don't worry about the cost" (of the wedding planner).

Skichi perfectly explained what I meant regarding a fake suntan. I have seen it in the past and it looks orange in the photos. If you are going to have a sun go to a specialised salon after it has been recommended by reliable people. Also, ask for a very light one. Otherwise, use some makeup to do a few highlights....and ivory looks great on fair skin.
Best wishes.

Sorry, Surjee, if you were further south I could help with various introductions for hair/make-up, etc but you're a little far from me. Nice town though and surrounding beautiful countryside.

Surjee - congrats on your wedding - I used to live very near Castelnuovo Berardenga, it's a beautiful place, you couldn't have chosen better. About the tan- don't listen! I have had spray tans in the past and the effect is very natural - if you are getting married on the friday, have the tan on the wednesday though (or was it sat? sorry - anyway 2 days before). I totally understand about wanting a bit of colour! We got married in December in freezing England but I had a tan - sunbed one, but I was determined to look "glowing"! Sorry I can't help you with names of salons because I haven't lived there for a few years, I am a bit out of touch. Good luck with everything!
