Love padlocks are everywhere in the world. Some cities have special places more or less legally deputed to such phenomenon. Should Italian local authorities, those in Venice for a start, have a less antagonistic attitude?
Wedding… just a joyful event?

Weddings are always joyful events, but one cannot help but notice that there are other feelings all mixed up in the day. It’s all perfectly normal and human. We found a way to turn the blue moments into something very positive and a bit of a celebration.
In my wildest dreams

In the last few days before our transfer to Italy for the wedding, London was bombed by terrorists. When in Italy, I was confronted with the explosion of a family crisis. No matter how organised a wedding is, there are always external/internal factors that will make things different in the provisions or feelings of people. A coordinator knows how to keep going under any circumstances. So did I, even though I was the bride.

The biggest cultural difference was in the way we were expecting to interact with guests and what guests expected themselves to do on the day. RSVP was an unknown practice to most of our Italian people and communication was difficult to sustain, even with our parents. Not to mention, the fact that people just made up their mind on the day…

Guests from Trentino and guests from the rest of the world had very different exposure to wedding etiquette and traditions. We had to make choices that would accommodate our needs and our priorities, first and foremost.

Being a bride in charge of the organisation of her own wedding, I can say that all the suppliers chosen were great help. DIY is good, as long as it does not compromise the integrity of the wedding day, as well as the enjoyment thereof. Money is irrelevant when it comes to saving the energy necessary to enjoying the day.

During our wedding preparations we had to confront the meaning of inviting our guests, their contribution to us as a new unity and understand out own outlook on our wedding.

Making the wrong choice about the photographic recording of my wedding got me thinking about the whole wedding event operation, my philosophy/modus operandi and my role as a wedding coordinator.
The photographer blunder

Had I known then what I know now, I would choose a darn good professional photographer to handle my wedding… but back in 2005, I really did not have a clue: and the visuals of our event are not as good as the wedding day really was.
