not really being a wedding planner or anything like that ...we did have friends that wanted to get married here and a civil ceremony... we talked to a mayor we knew for them ...arranged to have the ceremony at this sort of mountain refuge owned by the mayor...which they have a festa at each yer so it has sort of BBQ areas and seating... the mayor held the ceremony there ...arranged for the local brass band to come up too... plus various other things and presents of local produce were presented... plus all the band and half the village joined in the whole thing...
i think for the people it was far from banal and everyone seemed to enjoy the whole thing ... Italians and non...we did nothing to organise apart from help with a bit of translating.... the mayor and his friends handled the rest.. i think everyone that partook form the italian side were just happy that these foreigners thought it would be nice to get married in their comune....and that the whole village really took them to heart and wanted to make it a day to celebrate
