"The 19
th day of August is an especially auspicious day for a wedding, for it is the feast day of '
Vinalia rustica', a day that has a rich place in mythology and ancient traditions. On this day, the people of ancient Rome during the dedication of a temple to Venus, vowed a libation of all the wine of the succeeding vintage. Venus the goddess of love and beauty, was also the goddess of gardens and vineyards. So this is a day when love and nature are in perfect balance..."
I wrote these words three years ago for my and
Vinomaker's wedding.
Happy anniversary
Vinomaker.
