Louise and Carl were married in the Sala Rossa - the Red Room - in Florence, with a small group of family and friends, who shared a day long wedding event, ending with a splendid reception along the river Arno at a top hotel.

The civil wedding is a fully legal ceremony, but unlike weddings in other countries, the town hall wedding in Italy allows the couple wide scope to modify the ceremony to their needs. The text itself is meaningful and sincere, and to this couples may add readings, music, exchange of rings and of their own vows, making the ceremony entirely personal, and a complete experience for the couple and their guests.

The couple write:

Dear Ben and Luce Just wanted to say a big thank you for making our wedding day very special for us and our guests.

Thank you for everything you have done to make our wedding the best and happiest day of our lives!
