This was a truly memorable wedding that took place in a small Medieval village 70 Km North East of Rome in Italy. The atmosphere was delightful and guests were all as charming as Italians can be. The couple was on a budget (just like everyone getting married in their twenties) so the reception was organized in the village’s square where the bride lived and it turned out to be a fantastic idea.

They only had to rent tables and chairs and the catering was very basic, as many people that lived around the square volunteered to prepare food and help out with everything, from the flowers to the decoration of the square itself. It was truly a public event and so many different people participated out of their own initiative. It felt like going back in time a hundred years, when people’s generosity and care was the norm.

The ceremony was in the afternoon, but the day started early. I was there at 07:00 o’clock in the morning to record the mood and the events of the preparations. The tables arrived shortly after and some ladies of the village helped to lay them out. The aroma of Italian coffee and freshly baked croissants wasted through the narrow streets of the village; the well known hospitality and generosity of the Italian people allowed me to indulge myself into some local delights, accompanied by ever so creamy cappuccinos with a gentle touch of cocoa powder on top. Culinary distraction was a problem throughout the day for me.
