Melissia Wedding

Riddle- What do 1,000 wedding guests, a few rounds of a  Russian Kalashnikov ( AK-47), pistols, goats and high heels have in common?

Answer- A typical Cretan wedding

All the unmarried girls trying to catch the bouquet. It was a bit of a fight but that little girl in the striped shirt with her hands up got it.

  1. Anxious for the pics and stories. Also how did Stellios' 11pm dinner go? Go to sleep now and wake up refreshed to blog. You sure are a good storyteller, Michelle. Love, Mom
