I’m so happy you’ve picked a date and are making plans! Our 46th anniversary is on May 17th! We went to Tuscany for our 25th anniversary in 2004 and loved it. My husband spent 10 days riding his bicycle on the roads of Tuscany with a tour group (who took me and a few other non-riders to wonderful places during the day). I took a day-long cooking class with Chicca Maionne (https://cookingintuscany.cc) and our class served dinner that night to our tour group. After the bike tour, we splurged and stayed in Florence for several days at the Boutique Hotel In Piazza Della Signoria (https://www.boutiquehotelinpiazza.com/), located just off the Piazza Della Signoria and in walking distance of most places we wanted to go. I think it’s maybe 400 yards from the Uffuzi Gallery and a block or two from the fanciest shops. It was a very romantic B&B with great hosts. Our favorite restaurant in Florence was La Giostra. The owner was a prince (really!) and he served our meal. His son took over after his death a few years ago. But, we never found a less than amazing restaurant in Tuscany. We visited quite a few of the small hill towns and some larger ones like Pienza and Montepulciano. Drank some (a lot) of amazing wines. Ate so much good food! Visited museums and monasteries; went to the beach; shopped; visited wineries, olive oil factories, and cheese factories; and walked for many miles. My favorite works of art in Florence was Michelangelo’s David and several paintings by Botticelli.
Congratulations!

Happy upcoming wedding. Those <10 people are very lucky to attend your big day. Can't wait to see Reggie in finery!
Will Reg be the ring bearer, a man of honor, or best man? Or will he preside over the ceremony?
Congratulations!!
How about some asparagus recipes?
