In reply to Agata. Agata, thanks for stopping by and commenting! Italy is certainly a special place - hope that never changes! And congrats on your upcoming 10th anniversary!

I really enjoy this story guys! I lived in Italy long enough to believe in every word. Sounds a really cool experience! Thanks for sharing.

hey,

loved ur picture coz u r so looking happy and nt bcoz of the clothes or accesories. simplicity is what everybody forgets. we get so stuck up in so called perfection. I will have an arranged marriage(it might sound crazy..but it is very common in my community..and i am nt complaining). I have met some interesting people in the journey which made me share it on the blog.btw i will definitely keep the lessons in mind before planning for my wedding.

@Nellie: Friends and feast — that’s the right idea. And if some stuff goes wrong or falls apart, that’s part of your story. So long as you are there and having fun, that’s all that will matter. Enjoy!

Such a moving tale! I think I’m going through exactly what you guys went through 10 years ago. I’m getting married this July in Spain – and it’s an excuse to get all our friends together and have a giant feast. I’m not expecting a perfect wedding and I’m sure things are going to fall to pieces but to hell with that, I’m just going to enjoy the day! 🙂

@Alexandra: Thank you again for your help. I’m sorry about the Luciano story. I’m glad we returned. We must always follow our curiosity. It was sad, but it really put that first visit and the good fortune of our wedding week into perspective.

And as sad as it was, it really underscored for us why we’ve chosen to travel how we do, when we did. There’s a sign underneath life that reads: Subject to Change.

This is the first time I’ve read one of Daniel’s articles here (rather than Audrey’s). I am so glad you enjoyed Tuscany the second time round and that my travel advice came in handy. But I am seriously trying not to cry when I read the news of Luciano’s illness and his agriturismo having closed down. Sometimes I think it’s best not to revisit certain places in order not to put a damper on the original emotions.

@Lola: Thank you! About life’s lessons: we’ve only passed them on. We were just fortunate enough to have them presented to us so beautifully in the form of a wacky wedding week.

@Erin: Big thanks on all accounts — particularly the comment on age . I had been to a lot of weddings, many of them beautiful in their own way. But for ours, I wasn’t left wanting for something more, something different.

I think we are all very fortunate to be able to freely choose to do life the way we’d like.

I love this post! Happy anniversary you guys – you don’t look old enough to have been married 10 years though. Simon and I have been together for 11 years and aren’t getting married, but if we did this sounds like the perfect way to do it. I love that you did it your own way, without feeling the pressure from others that so many couples seem to succumb to.
