M2: Welcome! Come in. F: Congratulations! M2: Thank you.

F: Are you a little nervous? M2: A little.

F: All the women are helping prepare for the wedding feast. They’re making decorations in dough for a special wedding bread. How many guests for your wedding?

M2: Er, 1,500 about (about 1,500).

F: Mamma mia, it’s a lot! Mamma mia. The whole of Maria’s village has turned out to see her get married. The bride arrives with her father. She’s gorgeous. This is the nervous bridegroom, Jorgos. In a few minutes he and Maria will be man and wife. M2: I do!

F: And now we go to party. It’s certainly the largest wedding reception I’ve ever been to. At Cretan weddings, guests give money as gifts. And now the food is served. The meat of 150 sheep ... and a whole lot more. Maria and Jorgos’ first dance as man and wife includes all the close family. I’m destroyed! Ah, really.
