MARIE-CLAIRE & GARY DIEBEL

Sala Rossa Wedding in the Palazzo Vecchio of Florence

We are back and I am trying my best not to break the spell of our being in Italia.

Gary and I wanted to thank you so much for making our day so memorable, and the experience in making it happen so effortless. Especially now, we could not have imagined doing it any other way. Your choices of "who", "what" and "where" fit perfectly.

First, please give our warmest regards to Paolo Sortino. His genuine personality and attention really made tending to the process of the paperwork a pleasantly interesting adventure. He was a wonderful bridge to help us experience getting married in Firenze as less of an outsider (not having Firenze just be a stage play backdrop).

Gary and I, as well as our guests, are still savoring the delicious luncheon. Your choice of Restaurant Beatrice was perfect-atmosphere, wine, food. The service was attentive, complete and very charming. What made our wedding cake additionally special was meeting the woman who created it. Her enthusiasm was as wonderful as the cake.

Please give our warmest regards also to Mr. Ottanelli-very sweet man who was uncertain about my hairstyle request, but went ahead and did a wonderful job. With patience, we are looking forward to Mr. Mariani's photos. He worked very hard in trying to get the important elements to capture Firenze in our photos amidst the battlefield of the crowds on a wonderfully sunny day. We also loved the experience going to see Sartoria Antonietta for the tuxedo-their knowledge and service was also warm and concise. Inspite of having difficulty in finding their location (we need the assistance of the hotel front desk to call them), the effort was worth it.

The richness of the ceremony really came together with the regalness of the vice mayor and his strong voice, the light guitar and the hall itself. I loved my flowers and am currently trying to dry them to keep-it made it home in one piece.

Please keep us informed of the final marriage certificate that we need to receive from you to be authenticated here. Also, let us know if there's anything else you need from us or we need to do.

Lastly, I need to find out if it is possible to get another certificate, which was on bordered parchment paper, that we received titled, "Il Sindaco della Citta di Firenze". Unfortunately, we discovered the handwritten ink had smeared when we unrolled it once we got home. I was so disappointed when I discovered this. Please let me know if it is possible to obtain another one, or if we need to request this through another methods. It was such a wonderful piece that I wanted to frame.

We wanted to thank both of you again, especially Simona. Thank you for your patience in working with me through the final details, especially up until the day before we left. Most of all, thank you for ordering the sun on the day of our wedding.

With warm regards and much appreciation,

Mary-Claire and Gary
