Our church visit today was as good as normal for us!
We have a short walk to Church, just along two roads, probably the equivalent to what Americans call a ‘three-blocks-walk’, and the weather 🌦 was warm enough (it’s now twenty three Celsius), and both Chiara and I wore summer weight dresses, for likely our last few times, with the Autumnal season settling on Rome more resolutely.
We only had a little lingerie beneath, but we did have our mantillas on, as a mix of shawl and head covering for our worship, in the long established tradition of Catholic women. We sat roughly where we usually sit in Church with my parents and Edoardo. Happy to listen and to take part in the rites of the Mass, and to speak with our friends and fellow believers.
We had been up early in order for Chiara and I to sort out our hair, Edoardo enjoying brushing my daughter’s hair while I rushed about getting all the other things sorted before we all dressed. Our prerequisites are fresh white cotton lingerie on Sundays for Church, and Edoardo joins us in wearing white boxers so that it is a family tradition in the making!
After Church we always walk over to my parents house and help get lunch ready. My father and my fiancé always make use of this period of time to discuss the Priest’s homily and then they get into the political debate of the moment and of course Edoardo’s business week, and his plans for the week to come. Indeed, Edoardo has a trip this week to London.
There are several things we will be doing as an engaged couple this week as well.
