Wouldn't it be nice to get Married in Italy? I mean, really, what normal woman wouldn't like to do that? Well, I am a normal woman (for the most part!) and I am getting married soon. I never actually thought about getting married in Italy though. Although in retrospect you would think it was the first thing I thought of seeing as how I am engaged to a man who is in fact from Italy. I guess my sensibilities jumped in and I thought more about cost containment than romance and tradition.

In steps my fiance's family and suggests that getting married in Italy would be a good idea. In fact I would go so far as to say it was insisted upon...in a good way. My fiance is from an area of Italy called Calabria. Calabria is not much of a tourist destination which is good...it keeps the area authentic and unspoiled by hoards of tourists. Calabria sits at the tip of that sexy Italian boot and I hear you can see Sicily from the coast.

Pictures show miles of pristine beaches lapping gently with warm water and happy, very happy Italians living their daily lives. Specifically, my fiance is from Reggio Calabria. Check out some pictures and resources below.

As for the wedding plans, well we'll have to see if we pull that off or not but at the very least we are due for a much needed visit.
