Mallia must have lent him to the couple as a waiter.
Wow – two church weddings! I wonder if his mates at the strip/lap-dancing clubs in Paceville were there to observe.
Forsi ghana “spirtu pront ” ?
It seems they all in weskits except the bridegroom and the page boy.
Sartorially, it is entirely acceptable. I assume, of course, that the priest is blessing the balls for the cricket match.
The twelfth man at silly mid on.
It has become a sort of ‘moda’ nowadays for men at weddings, except for the groom, to wear only the trousers and the gilet of three-piece suit.
That having been said, it seems to have become the moda of the new mittil kless.
Jaqq
Mr.Manuel…. msieken huma dawk in nies li jaqghu taht l-istess klassi tieghek mhux tal mittil klass. Ghax jekk minghalik li xi wiehed haj klass vera sejjer zball ghax b’dan il-kumment urejtna kemm m’int xejn hlief bicca mbarazz.
Bla glekk u bis-sidrija (kemm jien u dak li mhux hija)
Konna t-tieg fgati bis-shana – it-tnejn sbieh min jaf jarana.
It’s a very busy church. Although the priest is in fact officiating at a wedding, there is a queue, and Chris Cardona is next. He is waiting to have his first holy communion ceremony. He’s a slow learner.
It’s a rodeo suit.
Love the brown belt showing through!
A lifejacket?
If the theme of the wedding was ‘traditional rural costume’ the minister should also have been wearing a waist sash and carrying a striped woolen bag slung over his shoulder.

That would be one of Daphne’s ancestors, right?
[Daphne – The one who painted it, yes.]
I thought the model might be too. He has a cut of jib that’s not peasant at all.
Unless I am mistaken, it is one of Caruana Dingli’s water colours depicting rural costumes in Malta during his life. A beautiful set indeed, and deserving of tribute to the artist.
“not peasant at all”
The picture is not in a ‘Barbizon’ style: it is simply a romanticised depiction of farmer.
Ministru tal-Ekonomija – iffranka l-kirja tal-glekk.
It’s not a wedding. He is the waiter and the priest is checking the menu.
In all fairness to him, it probably wasn’t his choice of outfit.
That outfit was chosen for the supporting roles of the wedding (bestman, ushers, witness, fathers, brothers, etc.).
As you can see, this is one big hamallagni of a white wedding anyway. The bride’s hair is naturally very blond, that much is clear, and the groom is exceptionally stylish. Chris Cardona ended up having to wear what the hamalli thought was mittelkless cool for a morning white wedding.
Thank you, Joseph, talli tajt social class promotion lil dawn il-hafna hamalli li jivvutawlek. Issa they are the new mittelkless.
It was a perfect wedding and before you shout morning white wedding you should know it was a beach wedding. I am a Nationalist and this shows that people like you and Daphnie are idiots IRRELEVANT WHOM YOU VOTE FOR. You are attacking the bride and the guests including me by saying Hammali, just because you do not like Chris Cardona you cannot offend everyone, there were so many people at this wedding that i am sure one of your relatives was there too drinking and dancing! PULL UP YOUR SOCKS AND GROW UP MORON.
Whisky Tango Foxtrot is a beach wedding?
First things first. Perfection is a matter of opinion. I can see many imperfect things in that picture alone, and I am sure I could find more if I was at that hamallagnifest. I should perhaps send a tweet to my family members asking whether they’ve been and what they thought of it.
I gather you were at the wedding. Your choice of vocabulary proves me right. It was indeed a hamallagnifest full of people like you who call others “ja muqran”.
And because you are ignorant and can’t read, I shall perhaps explain again. I said that Chris Cardona was forced to wear that ridiculous outfit. I don’t hate him. He doesn’t annoy me as much as you seem to think. What I have an issue with is the choice of outfit without considering the body type of the people who are forced to wear them. Look at Chris Cardona: he looks like an inside-out Kinder Sorpresa.
I don’t think it has anything to do with one’s choices at the polling booths to be honest. But it is plain to see that many hamalli opt to wave the taghna lkoll flag. Look at footage from mass meetings and then tell me about it. You could probably spot yourself in the crowd hara mejta tidghi u toffendi ‘l Gonzi. Go on, just for kicks.
Naf ezatt x’qed tghid… jiddispjacini ghal nies bhalek li ma jafux jghixu u jisthu jmorru xi tieg minhabba dawn ir-ragunijiet li semmejt “li jien qatt ma rajtom fl-ebda tieg”, imma sinjal li la rajtom inti nies ta klassi bhalek mejtin bil guh. U jiddispjacini li dhalt personali imma jien ma nqisx ruhi haj klass bhalek umbghad nghajjar lil haddiehor hamallu minghajr ma nafu.
Melvin, judging by the way you write, among other things, I can almost accurately judge your background.
M’hemmx bzonn inkun nafek, u l-fatt li ma nafekx ifisser li il-hajja ma ressqitniex lejn xulxin – skola, 6th form, universita, xoghol, divertiment, ecc.
Seriously you think they are mittilklass cause they were in white ??? Then you surely never went to a wedding before cause I went to a lot of weddings myself and they weren’t the first to be wearing white. And a hajklass like yourself should have been to a lot more weddings than a mittilklass like me. And yes not all the grooms that wore white on the weddings I was part of voted for Joseph neither.
[Daphne – The thing is, Melvin, clothes are code. They are there to give messages, and people pick up those messages. A groom who wears white sends out a strong message which might not be the one he wants. Ditto the outfits worn by the witnesses. The bride is fine.]
Actually I wore a white suit at my wedding in 1979 at St. Patricks in Sliema. At the time was not allowed to wear my RAF uniform and Travolta was still big after Saturday Night Fever. A bit tacky looking back on it now but at least the photographer (the Ritz outlet where Alhambra was in Sliema) saw fit to stick the photographs outside the Alhambra for around 6 months after the event (my wife, incidentally, got stung by Customs for having her Berkertex bride dress sent over in the mail. Bastards.
[Daphne – Ha ha, I was going to mention the 1970s in my comment to Melvin, but then thought ‘He was probably born in the 1980s and won’t know what I’m on about.’]
People like me avoid weddings when possible. Free booze and food are not my thing. Mela, mmur tieg ha nara l-Censu taz-zija Dilor idahhal drumstick shiha f’ halqu u jarmi l-ghadma ma l-art. Jew imorru mal-mejda tal-gobon kulhadd jahtaf u addio l-pressjoni u l-cholesterol. L-aqwa li b’xejn. Imbaghad ingibu l-pirmli b’xejn mill-ispizerija wkoll.
People like me make a statement by walking in half-way through the wedding, greeting the relevant people, then walking out as soon as the couple cut the cake. Two hours max. I’m always too busy anyway. And I avoid having to see iz-zija Mari scoffing pastarjali u titfa fil-hendbek ghal mat-te filghodu. I actually do them a favour by leaving ma jmurx nikser lil xi hadd.
Ma tafx x’ qed tghid siehbi. Your standards are yours. Keep them, and enjoy. I have my own. I stick to mine.
Kulħadd jivvinta biex mingħalih ikun oriġinali u fil-fatt ma jkunu xejn. Anzi l-għarusa waħda mill-ftit li qed nara bil-kmiem. Ħafna aħjar minn strapless u bil-cleavage barra.
Tal biza!
He’s wearing a frown, that’s for sure. Maybe she turned down his request for a lap dance?
well to whom it may concern i was part of the wedding and the reception was held on a beach so obviously the dress code was not a normal black suit!and it was a choice of the bride and the groom so before u all point ur fingers and pinpoint on stupid things,ms galizia u surley show what a bad reporter you are ! as u should write on real facts,and facts that should be interesting,really?on his out fit?come on?!! is this the best artical u could come up with? god ppfftt go out and search for real news and gossips.
[Daphne – Jahasra, all that government investment in schools…]
seriously dear daphne if i was you i’d bury my head in the sand just like an OSTRICH ( KIF NAJDU BIL MALTI TAQTA FIGURA ISBAH !! )
Ghidilha ghidilha stephania, tigi qisha l-gharajjes jekk taqta’ figura isbah. sorry ghax insejthom: !!!!!!!!
Smart casual of course.
Tiftahlix kotba.
Tider li int injorant ta malti pur ax aw malta kulhadd jiprrova jwaqqa in nies an nejk … uri min int iblah ha naraw min hu mittleklessssss ax ha nejdlek ta int mux mittle kless immaa below low “who am i” GET A LIFE ASSHOLE
Thus speaks a member of the new elite, high society.
He wore a vest, so what’s the big deal? It’s their wedding, their dress code and he isn’t wearing anything out of the ordinary.
Also it was a hot day, and with our sweltering heat I wouldn’t blame the man for ditching the jacket. And honestly is this really newsworthy?
Kemm tifilhu tkunu antipatki!! Imisskom tisthu, lanqas tafu lil gharajjes u qedin tghajruhom b’dan il-mod…. lanqas biss ha nikkummenta ghaliex libsin hekk! Ilhqu salibkom mela salib haddiehor, x’ghandha x’taqsam il-politka ma tieg, ghaliex qedin tweggaw lil koppja u lilna tal-familja taghhom? Vera tal-misthija kemm lil ‘gurnalista’ kif ukoll lil kummentaturi tal-kummenti banali li taw……. Isthu!!!! Kemm intom bla kuxjenza!!
The “sidrija” is making a comeback with a bang in Malta and Gozo. As a young boy I remember old men wearing a sidrija and cloth caps as de-rigueur manly fashion, along with being bare-foot.
Also, not too many obese men back then.
Is this a marriage of convenience for a stripper?
are you serious? I know the couple, theyve been together for at least 8 years, who the hell do you think you are?? honestly please, please let me know who you are, so I can come kick the shit out of you’re coward face!! I honestly would gladly spend a few nights locked up, for the pleasure of knocking your chin off youre head!!!
[Daphne – Hmmm. A chin on a head.]
Xinjoranza ta nies…. Intom min intom biex titkelmu fuq persuna li qadt ma kelimtu..li tigu titfaw ir ritratti ta din il kopja biex tigudikawa.kunu maturi mux mohkom fil politika biss ax imbasta hafna inglizati u nejk li kull min jolli taht idejh kulhadd Andu xi jxomm..u proset Daphne indunajna li Dan l weekend ma kellekx xtiraporta u ridt tikteb xi haga biex minalik tintogob imma kun AF li qazizstna ta vera isa..
It’s the rebel uniform worn on planet Hoth.
They were all wearing them indoors in the movie ‘The Empire Strikes Back’.
Beritta jonqsu , u jkun qiesu Wigi tal- bajd ibiegh” kelja kappar”.
But siriously do you have to butt in everything?? These are a happy couple that moved their way to the alter, and dr Chris Cardona was there to witness their happiness. Is it in your business to comment regarding what he’s wearing?? It was obviously the couples choice for what to wear. Personally i don’t follow dr Chris Cardona political party, But you have no right to comment on something like this. I think for us nationalist to move forward they should siriously take you out of the way , couse this too much
[Daphne – Before you nationalist siriously take me out of the way, Raisa, ask me for a few TEFL lessons and out of the kindness of my heart I might oblige.]
LOL@TEFL
Why do certain people always have to become so ferociously aggressive if someone simply says something that they don’t like? Unfortunately it’s always the same kind of behaviour, shouting insults and hurling abuse at people. Dear Rebecca, Maria, Raisa & Co, please, where’s all your positive energy?
Rebecca, Maria, Raisa et al remind me of why I despair for this country. Spot on, Daphne, the money invested in schools never seems to have got anywhere close to these people.
Erm…is the bride Dolly Parton incognito? Maybe it was her who was residing at Flat 2, Ambjent Court, Xemxija! Case resolved.
lollll thankyou for your lovely comment NOKKLAAA :p hahahaaaa im guessing you habve nothing better to do with your time. u really need a hobby
If Raisa is a nationalist then I am an elf from Iceland.
Siriously.

Though I have no association with Chris cardona and do not agree with his political stance or the rest of the whole jowzefff raccann… This time I think we have gone a step to far ! To belittle a couple who I know personally and who have nothing but love and respect for each other and butcher their special day in the way that you guys did is shameful! What on earth is it to you all what two consenting adults decide to do and wear on their special day and who on earth are you to insinuate things like she is a stripper or that it was a marriage of convenience when you don’t even know the names of these people .. Seriously what type of people are you ? It s cause of people like you who bicker and bitch about innocent by standers that our party will never move forward ! Daphne uploaded a photo she might have had her reasons but the comments that ensued are nothing short of disgusting! Congratulations Sam and Kevin don’t let these comments get to you !

[Daphne – Would you be the bride or the groom?]
The bride. See her response to Nokkla’s comment above.
You’d think she’d have better things to do on her honeymoon than posting illiterate comments on a blog she never reads.
Ahseb u ara int La Redoute????? tider li andek alija ha najdlek mistohbi jew mistohbija wara ismek tikteb fuq blog HIN KOLLU u fuq haga li mandiex xtaqsam mijak JERGAAA, sinjal li qed intuk xi tip ta pjacir hahahahaaa ibzax ta jin relax qeda u kultant nidhol nara xbaqalkom tajdu ha nidhaq dahqa ax wisqqqq eeee hahahhahaaaaaaaaa, u aqbad u tkellem bil Malti xbin basta kolkom ax these people are hamalli, ahjar tara xint tamel int hiii LOLLLLLLLL :) parapapapaaaa im lovin it ;)))) XOXO
I find it quite fascinating how these people transposed their “Mandraggara” way of speaking (note the prolonged last vowels, the emphasis on certain words) onto the internet.
I won’t even bother trying to explain that, you know, clothes are not meant to be “fun” and “la komdi huma, komdi kulhadd”.
That’s ultimate Xarabank-esque view on life. Peppi Azzopardi single-handedly ruined this country.
Daphne, this beach themed wedding was one of a kind and one of the best weddings most people have attended. The dress code was different and more comfortable. Most of all, everyone was well-dressed and still very smart. The couple are great people and also all the groomsmen which Chris Cardona is one of them. Daphne, you should mind your own business, improve your manners and just a tip, since you immaturely butted in and stated a stupid fact which does have nothing to do with you, I will state a fact about your day-to-day dress code. Those earrings that you are wearing in the background look like living room ornaments. And please, Grow up :)
are these comments serious !! do you need to butt in people’s personal life !! people you don’t even know !! you really don’t have a personal life yourself s to start commenting on stuff like this !! Do you know the couple to start calling them names !! or call them hamalli !! I MIGHT accept comments on decisions that are related to political stuff BUT I certainly feel comments on people’s personal life’s are really of a low standard !!
if one political person those something wrong or something that you don’t agree with it go on write your big comments but not on his personal life or what he does in his free time !!
YOU who feel you are above all look around you because i bet that you all will find something to comment about !! and start commenting on that before commenting on other people!
It was a perfect wedding and before you shout morning white wedding you should know it was a beach wedding. I am a Nationalist and this shows that people like Daphnie are idiots IRRELEVANT WHOM THEY VOTE FOR. You are attacking the bride and the guests including me! just because you do not like Chris Cardona you cannot offend everyone, there were so many people at this wedding that i am sure one of your relatives was there too drinking and dancing! I ALWAYS TELL YOU THE SAME THING DAPHNIEEEEE – IT IS TIME TO GET A LIFE OF YOUR OWN DEAR – Tick Tock Tick Tock your time is running out!
its unbeleivable that because the bride looks foreign , the ” high class” people suddenly think shes a stripper from a stripclub… shes 100% maltese .. also all of you who judged as hamali and mittelclass surely have some kind of anger inside them , wonder why looool? becasue its not normal to call people names without even knowing them and even if you did know them no use trying to pull people down just to feel superior… you re only just bringing out your sick characters i feel sorry for you if being mean is the only thing that makes you feel good.. i am part of this couples close family and its disgusting to see such mean comments ,
sirt nisthi najd li jien nazjonalista tajru nies hamali meta kul min joli idejh andu xi jxom ax kul min ed jifta halqu jataka li nies andu kollox perfet anka il modd li titkelmu fuq in nies jn alija dan amalgni u injoranza tatakaw in nies alxejn ax ma taqblux ma persuna nahseb kulhat d&g jew armani tilbsu araw il hamalagni l andkom fil familja umbat ajru nies imiskom tisthu kont najd a labour li uma nies injoranti ibqaw sejrin ekk il quddiem ed jimxi il; partit tal pn bikom imskom tisthu get a life guys u halu nies jejxu fil paci u jekk andkom id dwejaq sibu zvogg mhux mohkom bx tmaqdru nies di l injuranza ta hafna nies tal pepe u bala inglizati ma tamilkom xejn hlief low class jaf mortu tieg bhal da tieg kola indanazjona u ejra dwejaq ta nies
I can’t understand why you people are accusing Daphne of being disrespectful to the married couple. It’s not their fault (and neither is it Daphne’s) that Chris Cardona looks like a ‘gabillott’ in that photo.
[Daphne – It is indeed their fault as they chose the outfit. And Chris Cardona should never have agreed to wear it. Since when are witnesses considered part of the bridal party and obliged to wear fancy-dress? Were the fathers of the bride and groom in the same get-up? The ushers?]
Er, you haven’t been to an – ahem – middle class wedding recently, have you, Daphne?
Lucky you, I say.
Yes, witnesses are now in uniform. And fathers-in-law too.
[Daphne – Dear God. How frightening. Well, they are supposed to be in ‘uniform’, but not fancy dress.]
You fascinate me. I suppose you’ve never been offered marshmallows to dip in a molten chocolate fountain either?
Yes, ‘middle class’ weddings are ghastly. One goes for the sake of one’s relatives, because an inheritance is not something to be scoffed at, but that’s just about it.
I mean I always need a lot of stiff drinks to sustain me. They’re invariably badly poured and mixed, but they help. I’ve also taken to hiring an escort. Keeps one busy, and preempts my tiresome aunts’ questions about “allura m’intix se turina l-gerfrent?”
