Europe (Continental) - August 2007

Hi, I live in Greece and I am planning my wedding with my Greek husband (we had a civil service or politiko a few months ago and next year is the big church thing). I'm pretty sure that the only thing my husband is going to do is book the church and engage the priest and he might organise the reception.
But I need to know about all the other things I need to do, order, make? The only thing I can think of is the invitations. What about bomboniere? Do I take care of it or do the koumbaroi (groomsmen) have to take care of it? Who do I have to buy presents for and what are the traditional presents?

Seriously, I have no clue whatsoever. I mean if I have to buy a special garter belt or something because there is some sort of ceremony thing that involves one I dont know.

I need to know what I have to plan, buy and order, all the details you guys can think of. Because at the moment all I know of is my dress and invitations.

Thanks!!

What kind of clothing can I (a 15 year old girl) wear that will not make me feel like such a tourist? Because I'm sure fashion in america must be very different than over there...
My dad went a few years ago, and brought me back a tshirt that literall said "american-style tshirt" inside.
So what exactly mighnt a "greek-style" tshirt be???
I hate that feeling when your'e walking around, and it's completely dead obvious that you aren't from that area... and people mumble under their breaths "Stupid tourists" while they shove by you. I want to really experience the culture (modern... yes... i'm not going there for the ancient stuff, though i will see it i'm sure) while i'm there, so throw at me what you got!

I would like to do my own "simit" every morning for breakfast, but I'm not sure that a normal oven can suit to that...

I would first of all like to thank the contributors who have responded to my Eurostar questions on this forum; your help has been tremendous and I appreciate it!

In May of 2008, I'm going to backpack with my boyfriend in Europe, albeit only a few countries. Below is my schedule, using a Eurail Pass. (16 day trip)

fly into Madrid
overnight train to Barcelona
train to Avignon (day trips to Arles and Aix en Provence)
train to Paris
train to Amsterdam
train to Brussels (day trip to Bruges)
Eurostar to London
from London, fly home

My hangup is coming in with the Brussels/Bruges part. From what I can figure out, I am going to have to backtrack on the train to go to Bruges. I mean, I wanted to do it logically: Amsterdam to Bruges, then Bruges to Brussels; if I did it that way, I'd be in Brussels the morning I need to leave from Brussels on the Eurostar. However, it looks like I have go Amsterdam to Bruges via Brussels, so either way, I'm going to have to buy a point to point.

I was just wondering if there was an address where I could read a Dutch newspaper online? Are there any that are for each province (an online paper for noord-holland, zuid-holland, zimburg, etc)? Thanks for the the help.
