Rachel and Gavin held both a civil wedding in the town hall of San Gimignano, and a symbolic blessing at the villa. The civil wedding fulfilled their legal requirements, but the ceremony was intimate and meaningful. The symbolic, non religious blessing was a private and personal sharing of vows and commitments before family and friends. This is always a beautiful and emotional event...

One of the highlights of this event was the wedding cake. Italyweddings arranged as a surprise - actually for the bride and groom in this case, as well as for the wedding guests - a special marquee setting in a hidden part of the villa gardens, with hanging lanterns, tea candles and citronella lamps, under a silk canopy.
