My name is Pete “Petros” and I’m the sun of a Greek Dad &
American Mom (“Septic Tank” as you guys down there would say —
I was in Perth a year ago). I grew up in Greece (though my parents
met in the US) and moved permanently to the US 11 years ago . I noticed
you’ve emailed me once and also pinged me on facebook (I’m still trying
to figure this out). I can totally relate to your effort to maintain the
contact with the Greek roots & preserve the traditions.

I’m afraid though I can’t offer much detail on wedding rituals. My main
avenue of connecting with home is through music, especially the folkloric
type, of which I have a couple hundred CDs. Within their there is a fair
share of wedding music, i.e. what they’d play in the “panygiria” after
the wedding. If you’re interested I can look it up and see what I can
find. I also have a beautiful version of “Isaia Choreve” done by a spectacular
church choir from Athens.

Na ’sai kala and best regards,

Pete
