Could you tell us a little story about something special that you have experienced during your work as a wedding planner?
To marry a couple in a special setting, a public piazza overlooking the see in a small historical saracen village, I had to invite for an "aperitive" (that is an italian habit) the major of the little town several times (and call him every day) in order to persuade him to give me the authorization and the necessary permits. Exhausted, he gave up at the end and I had my unique wedding.
