Church Weddings in Italy

Italy is the land of many churches - all kinds of churches and synagogues and church weddings in Italy were the norm for many years.

Church Weddings were the most popular form of marriage until some of the beautiful Italian Palazzos and public wedding halls started to enter into competition with them.

Wedding in churches were mean to be understood that your wedding vows would be heard by God and the ceremony would be coordinated by someone representing Him here on earth.

The church was also the most attractive structure in town, hosted the most people and was where everyone would meet regularly.

But churches were also much more: They were baptized and the place where many couples first met and talk to each other.

The church was the first place you wanted to have everyone witness your marriage ceremony.

Having family and friends see a couple get married was everyone’s great desire and joy.
