3 Days to go - We are not nervous (yet) just very excited

This is probably going to be the last update for a while. Today we'll see the first few to arrive in Barcelona, and we're really looking forward to that. Mum, Dad & Serena are already here and (literally) on the starting blocks. Today is our last day at work and from this afternoon we'll be off for more than a month (looking forward to that too).
When I say I won't be updating the blog for a while it's only that you (the people for whom this website has been put together) will all be here in Barcelona, so I'll drop the blog and move to low-tech face-to-face communication.

See you all very very soon,

5 days to go

It's Monday but it feels like Thursday (probably because tomorrow is our last day of work until mid June ;o) It even looks like the weather is finally getting better. On Friday I had what I suppose you can call my stag-night. It was great even though it didn't really look like a stag night (which is a compliment to the people behind it). Big up to Daniele, Pablete, Vincent, Jose, Fernando and David for setting this up! Of course I will not disclose any information about the night out, but I'll share with you a picture I took on the way back home.


Yep, you guessed it, the sun was up and shining when I got back and it took me the entire weekend to recover from it…

Look forward to see you all very (very) soon,
iacopo

7 days

One week to go. If I think about it, yes, I do tend to become panicky but if I manage to keep my mind off it, then it's all good.
Mum&Dad are flying in on Saturday and that will officially open the "celebration". Most of you will be flying in on Wed/Thu and we're really looking forward to have you all here. Some of you may have missed, but check the post below (or click here) to read about drinks on Thursday night. We're also tyring to figure something out for Saturday night as many of you will still be around. As you can imagine a bar crawl with 50 people on a Saturday night is not a good idea. If any of you has any suggestions, please, let us know. One of possible option would be to have a BBQ and our (very kind) friend Tona offered her terrace, from where you can enjoy one of the most amazing views of Barcelona. We'll keep you posted on this one.
Our only worry lately has been the weather. It is somehow frustrating to think that it's been consistently hotter in Brussels than in Barcelona for the past month. I really hope this will change or we'll have to move the wedding to Brussels ;o) On the other hand the weather is one of the few things that are completely out of our control, so we can only sit back and relax.
That's it for now. See you all very soon.

Updated Map

Well, 11 days to go and we're still OK. Let's hope it stays that way. In the meanwhile have a look at this map, hope it helps. The MAP

Mancano solo 11 giorni e per il momento va tutto bene. Eccovi una versione piu recente della nostra carta di barcellona. Spero vi piaccia. La mappa

A presto,
iacopo&teresa

2 weeks to go.

Have to say that I am quite happy for all we've done. Still a few things to sort out, but the bulk is done. 2 weeks to go before we see you all over here... We had confirmation from a couple of special guests coming all the way from Cameroun and Yemen (we'll pretend they came over just for the wedding) and the grand total is now 95 guests of which 67 are not based in Barcelona. More stats will follow ;o)

Thursday night - Warm-up drinks
As many of you will already be in Barcelona on Thursday we thought it would be good to meet somewhere for a drink (or two). The idea is that we'll be at Bar Glaciar in Plaza Real, from 8ish and you're more than welcome to join us for a drink or two. Of course you can also go on your own and enjoy your time in Barcelona. I have marked the Bar Glaciar on the map (on your right). We look forward to see you.

One more thing: I've changed mobile and my number is six-two-nine-eight-eight-nine-two-zero-two
