Weddings are a wonderful special day in a person’s life. As we get older, it seems we attend fewer. Recently my sister’s youngest son took the big step and got married. These days many young couples pay for their own weddings instead of the parents, which usually results in smaller more quaint weddings. This wedding was attended by the bride and groom’s families and a few close friends. The bride was radiant in her wedding dress and the groom was handsome in his tuxedo. The reception was held at DeGidios in downtown St. Paul. The restaurant was established in the 1930’s and is still family owned. Back in the day, the original owners moved in the infamous St. Paul Gangster circles. It still remains in the old supper club style of the 1950’s. The restaurant’s menu consisted of old style Italian food and the wedding reception meal included spaghetti, meatballs, sausage, salad and garlic bread, served buffet style. The food was impressive and I may have to go back there again sometime. And of course, there was a beautiful and delicious wedding cake from Byerlys. A DJ provided dance music and was hugely successful in filling the dance floor with a dance called the Snowball. For this dance, everyone on the dance floor had to find a new dance partner, so after doing this multiple times, the dance floor was full and the chairs at the tables empty. We talked, we ate, we danced, we laughed and all in all it was a day to be remembered!
