ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH (BAZILIKA)
Mike and Henrietta's ceremony the following day was at St. Stephen's Church (Hungarians call it the Basilica; in Hungarian, "Bazilika"). The largest church in Hungary, it took 54 years to build � it was completed in 1905. Walking through the oversized doors the first time, I almost wanted to cry. I could not believe how beautiful this place was. I also couldn't believe my best friend was getting married -- putting serious pressure on me, since he was the last of my high school friends to tie the knot. Even if you are not Catholic, this church is a must visit. St. Stephen's Church, V. Szent Istvan t�r 33; tel.: 36-1-317-2859.

MIKE AND HENRIETTA'S WEDDING
Mike and Henrietta's ceremony was amazing. I love going to destination weddings. Not only do I get to see a far-off land, but I can spend quality time with the bride and groom's friends and family. It's not a 4-hour event where I talk only to the person sitting next to me at dinner. This wedding definitely surpassed everyone's expectations � even his Italian family, who are the toughest critics out there because they didn't think a wedding outside Italy could be pulled off to their high standards. Boy, were they wrong! They knew it the moment they walked through St. Stephen's Church, then again when they walked into the Four Seasons Hotel (called Gresham Palace) for the reception. As you can see in the video below, Mike and Henrietta began their new life together in style. And the Four Seasons' hospitality was the best I've ever seen at a wedding. It was incredible -- just like my trip to Budapest. For more click HERE.
