Joanna and Grant Symbolic blessing, Villa Pandolfi, July 2009 Joanna and Grant held a symbolic blessing in the chapel of one of our favorite villas - Villa Pandolfi, in the heart of the Chianti region. The guests all stayed at the villa, and the day long event was relaxed, with no transport or movements, and with the emphasis on the personal celebration, the family, friends, and the Italian food and wine. The couple write: What can I say - thank you so much for all you did to make Saturday such an amazing day for Grant and I. It was the best day of our lives and our friends are saying it's the best wedding they have ever been too. That is obviously what I wanted to achieve (!) and it was certainly the best wedding we have ever been to! The day was seamless and that was all down to you and your team. Please also thank Marisa for the beautiful flowers, they were perfect. The tables were perfect and the band superb. It was a truly magical setting and perfect day. Thank you, Ben, for everything and I'm feeling quite redundant now, without our correspondence! The bride prepares in the villa with her bridesmaids.
