Keep the wedding party separate from the guests for 1 hour at the beginning of the reception. For a traditional Italian wedding, this is called cocktail hour and, as the name suggests, guests are served cocktails in preparation for the wedding party to arrive. After cocktail hour, the guests should gather in the reception area, clearing a path down the center for the bridal party. As the bride and groom enter the reception, they are announced as husband and wife. The band of choice should be able to play traditional Italian wedding songs. An abundance of flowers and ribbons is customary for Italian weddings. The first dance in a traditional Italian wedding belongs to the bride and groom, and is followed by formal dances involving different members of the bridal party. After the formal dances, the guests are invited to join in. Each member of the wedding party, and anyone else who volunteers, may choose to give a speech in honor of the newly married couple. Champagne, cocktails and sweet liquors are served to both the bridal party and the guests during this time, which may be a relatively lengthy part of the ceremony. Italian weddings place a great emphasis on the reception meal, which may be served in as many as 14 courses. Customary choices include: Antipasto. This first-course dish traditionally includes Italian delicacies such as prosciutto, olives, stuffed mushrooms, pickled peppers, salami and calamari. Italian wedding soup. Pastas, breads, meats, fruits, salads and cheeses. Symbolic wedding foods. Powdered sugar-coated dough twists, called Wanda, are served to bring good tidings to the bride and groom, and sugared almond Italian candy is served to symbolize the bitter and the sweet of a marriage. Beverages. Wine and coffee are customary, in addition to more conventional mealtime beverages like water, milk, tea and juice. Desserts. A variety of desserts are served, including pastries, cakes, candies, fruits and wedding cake. The words "evviva gli sposi," meaning "long live the newlyweds," is traditionally exclaimed throughout the reception as wine glasses are raised in celebration.

Q: Many websites that employ contributing and staff writers will often display the author name at the top or bottom of an article. This is the first place you should look for an author. Some websites will display the author next to the copyright information at the bottom of the page. This may be the controlling company as opposed to the actual author. If the specific page you are looking at does not have an author and is on a reputable website, it was probably authored under the authorization of the company or agency that runs the site. This can serve as the author if no specific author is listed. If you can't find contact information for the website, you can try sending an email and asking for the author of a specific page or article. You aren't guaranteed to get a response, but it may be worth a shot. If you're reading a website that isn't being ethical, it may be displaying information copied from another source. Copy and paste a paragraph of text into a Google search to see if you can find who the original author is. WHOIS is a database of website registrations, and you can use it to try to track down a website owner. This will not always work, as the owner is often not the author, and many owners and companies use privacy services to hide information. Visit whois.icann.org and enter the website address into the search field. Look for the "Registrant Contact" information to find who registered the domain. You can still try to contact the owner through their proxy email if the registration information is blocked.

Article: Generally, your options will resolve into two categories: utilizing existing resources in new ways, or generating new income. For each goal, consider whether you should: Continue the same course of action. Expand your current situation. Change your current situation. Take a new course of action. To save money for that backpacking trip to Europe, for example, you might replace your coffee shop stops with home-brewed coffee and save $20 per week. Alternatively, you might provide child care for a friend one afternoon a week and apply your earnings toward the trip. In addition to identifying alternative courses of action within your financial goals, you should consider how your goals interact. You might consider travel a "lifestyle" goal, for example, but after careful consideration realize that pursuing the educational goal of studying a foreign language will enable you to travel more cheaply or even pursue a career as a translator or businessperson working in a foreign country.
