Rome and central Italy

Description

They say when in Rome, do as the Romans and for a dream destination wedding, you can do just that. Imagine a sumptuous wedding in one of the majestic castles or villas that has graced the surrounding countryside for centuries. You'll feel like a Roman empress in the luxury that surrounds the Italian capital. Whether it be a medieval stronghold or an elegant aristocratic hideaway, the treasures of Rome lie waiting to be discovered by you and your lucky wedding party.

Imagine the enchantment of taking a guided tour of the legendary Coliseum, standing where gladiators once stood, poised to defend their honor. From there, a quiet stroll along the ebbing Tiber river will lead you past ancient ruins and to the awe-inspiring Vatican, where you'll stand in Saint Peter's square, marveling at the overwhelming architecture of this tiny country within Rome. As the evening just barely begins to settle in, you and your bridesmaids pause for a full bodied espresso in one of Rome's legendary squares, perhaps the Piazza Navona, traced along the lines of the Roman stadium of Domitian, or the Piazza della Rotunda, with a view of the ancient Pantheon.

Then before leaving the city to discover the royal castle that hosts your reception, pause with your future husband in front of the Trevi Fountain. Hold hands, and in the other, clasp tight three coins. Close your eyes and with your back to the water, throw the coins in over your left shoulder. One day, you and your husband will return to this eternal city to once again celebrate your love.
