Our Wedding


Today has been wonderful!

We got up early and had coffee and cakes with Mary and Massimo. Then we got dressed up and had a glass of Italian sparkling wine before setting off for the Palazzo Orsetto. On our way there Parth deliberately led us through the Piazza San Michele so that we could make a splash.


When we got to the Palazzo Orsetto we were very happy to be met by not only Chiara, the interpreter but Mary and Massimo as well. It was also nice to hear the harpist already playing.







The ceremony was performed by the president of the Municipal Council who was very stylishly dressed.











After the ceremony our carriage awaited. Carlos, our carriage driver, took us for a spin around the old city. People waved at us and clapped and called out “Auguri”, congratulations, as we rode by. There were also people taking pictures.


We arrived at the restaurant and had a really nice meal but enjoyed it so much I could hardly breathe in my dress so we skipped the coffee and headed home.

  3. Yes, Kamala expresses so very well what we, too, feel about those pictures. MY immediate response was S T U N N I N G, both of you so perfect and beautiful! Your wedding dress is really amazing, Sophie - I only was allowed a peep at it while still at your place.... and now it has fulfilled its wonderful purpose. :-) Well, and that suit, Parth, fantastic! Made in Lochlorien, no doubt! We hope there will be many more photos forthcoming of you both on your Wedding Day. Mr and Mrs Yahambaram, a toast to you for many very happy years together. May God's Blessings chase you both!

    1. That is not the Palazzo Orsetto, it is the west front of Lucca Cathedral.
