Wedding May 2020 ideas

Posted by on

Hi,
My partner and I are newly engaged and we are sold on the idea of getting married in Italy. It would be just ourselves, 3 children aged 19, 12 and 14, my parents, his mother, my brother and missus and my brother. So a very small affair.

We are thinking one week with guests and having the wedding and then going alone for a further two weeks. Looking at wedding in Sorrento/ Amalfi area and the moving north, Perugia, Florence and Venice for the honeymoon.

My question is this do able on the time scale we have?
Where would be the must see places, towns to go to?
Anywhere we should go that I haven’t mentioned, Sicily, Cinque Terre, Capri maybe that is a must?
Where would be a good place to fly into and out of, heading to London Stansted.

Thanks for any helpand info,
Lucy

You have so much time that I would do some research and see which towns you would like. 3 weeks is plenty to see several. I would skip Sicily, unless you go only to Sicily. It is large and requires a longer visit itself.

Sorrento is nice for a wedding, Venice is a perfect honeymoon spot. Get a guide book and see what interests you. And congratulations!

Are you European Union citizens, or ...? Because you will need to check the legalities of getting married in a foreign country.

Your general itinerary of having the wedding in Sorrento/Amalfi and then spending your honeymoon in the central and northern parts of Italy sounds fine, since you have a total of 3 weeks.

Buy a couple of good guidebooks to help you decide on your most desired destinations and plan from there.

Lovely. Thanks for the replies. I know it is ages away but I love to be organised :-)
My main query was the timescale being doable so the fact you have both said it’s fine is good for me.

I don't want to intrude into your personal affairs, but felt compelled to point out that there are some legal advantages to be married vs. being engaged. Some couples will choose to a have a civil ceremony sooner and then a wedding later to take advantage of this,

I do want to offer my congratulations and wishes for your happiness.

Thanks Carol. We still live in separate houses and have nothing jointly owned so having a longer engagement is fine with us. Nothing beneficial to us legally to get married sooner.
