It's been 10 years and a half since I met my future husband and began our love story. For over 6 years we have established a family giving way to our life together in Milan (CONVIVIO hate to say it seems that living together is something different and less important than any marriage ...) and in the meantime there has been with the purchase of a home, a son of almost 10 months, many travel, job changes, promotions, layoffs ... So a normal life of a normal family ... Well, almost normal!
course because if I had a wedding ring, no one would have had difficulties in Italy to consider ourselves a family like many others, those that last 50 years with many children and lots of love ... But being an unmarried couple, in our country are many difficulties encountered by parents are not married, and today, it's obvious that as soon as the couple becomes kind, urgent to regulate the relationship with the practice of law (because of this is) that is called marriage!
Well we, with the birth of our tiny little man, after having clashed with the wall of the Italian bureaucracy and after the first stage of resistance to the bitter end as a matter of principle, we have succumbed to the legalization of our relationship by setting the date of our wedding. Not a dream come true or because it means something to us, but simply to protect our son, and live more happily our new life as parents.
Leaving aside the long controversy on the rights of unmarried couples (which deserves a section ...), I want to share with you a little more frivolous and fun, ie the organization of our wedding, to show that even in the south of our peninsula, it is possible to avoid a marriage alternative to mortgage the house and put 3 years to prepare more ...
Summarizing the key points of our journey, the decision to marry was taken after the summer holidays, so in September / October 2010, very slowly took the form of everything and the end of November we booked the room at the town of Naples (we are not Catholics, nor do we want to get married in church because it is more fascinating to the altar, or because our parents would be happier ...), the date selected (because the only Saturday off close to Christmas) is January 22, 2011. So
departure preparations less than two months before the wedding, and two weeks from the big day, a child of 10 months, I find the time to write ... I told you it was a marriage alternative!
The choice fell on the winter because in winter no one wants to get married and everything is easy, fast and cheap! The reasons why most couples discard the winter to get married are various (and variously stupid ...)! There are many flowers available and cheap to set up churches, restaurants and rooms, all rooms and villas dedicated to the reception can not make their outdoor space or garden that is probably the most charming and fascinating because of the cold and rain or snow, not all relatives and friends can ensure their presence in winter because, you know, you work more and take fewer holidays, the wedding dresses or white fur shrugs need matched, that many brides do not like, then you need an umbrella if it rains ... In short, all about .... ed!
conclude this first post (more will follow) on our marriage with the first rule for an alternative marriage : friezes of flowers, the cold, rain or snow, relatives and friends and MARRY IN WINTER!
