Dude, from Pre-wedding reception (opportunity to start getting drunk), to wedding, to wedding reception, Italian weddings are no less than 8 hours long. Sometimes it's good; mine, in fact, was awesome. Everyone dancing and drinking and yelling and laughing and eating great food until you wanted to shove yer finger down yer throat to puke it up just so you could eat more...that ruled. Then I went to a friend's wedding that was "storybook", for lack of a better word, and it was so fucking boring and monotonous that even the free wine and booze wasn't helping any. You got off lucky, dude.
Now, that's NORTHERN Italy. If you go to your ancestor's homeland, Sardinia, you'll be there for at least 12-16 hours.
Speaking of which, I'm probably going to take a motorcycle trip through Sardinia this summer...I'll send you some pics of your beautiful motherland.
I'd never go. I seriously wear down my social graces after 3-3.5 hours in company I dislike. Also, my ancestors were Scandinavian, not Italian.
