Piracy is a crime! This post is rated AAARRRR for ARRRRSOME!
Excellent pirate puns aside, it’s finally time to share a wedding that’s as beautiful as it is captivating. Invited from my humble abode in dreary London, I set sail for the warm coasts of Casina – the Castello di Leguigno in fact. I wasn’t there to plunder its doubloons, but to capture something just as (if not more) valuable: Marcella (Marcy) and Lorenzo’s (War) pirate wedding.
Marcella (Marcy) and Lorenzo (War) first met many years ago. Back then they both were with other people and were only friends to each other.
(e)X MARKS THE SPOT
And never truer words were spoken, for it was breaking up with their exes almost simultaneously that brought Marcy and War together. As they became each other’s shoulder to cry on, their geeky love flourished, and two years after realizing they would never ever let go of each other, War took Marcy to Lake Garda and proposed.
They both looked absolutely and fearsomely dashing in their beautiful pirate attires, courtesy of Midnight Costumes, but what stunned me the most was that all their guests, ALL of them, also wore their pirate attire and pulled it off just perfectly.
Yours truly also dressed up, but we don’t really want to talk about that. I looked like a very pirate-y potato.
War and Marcy threw out of the window all those stale and antiquate Italian wedding traditions for their wedding day. The only one they were not willing to let go was the bountiful amount of courses at the reception.
Even the entertainment had a funky twist: the folk-metal band Diabula Rasa kept the throats roaring until DJ Dirty Diana took over the dancefloor for the last part of the evening.
The whole crew drank, ate and danced until late in the night. It was a proper party-wedding.
Marcy and War decided not to have any couple-shoot during the day so that they wouldn’t make their guests waiting, which I thought was thoughtful. However, after seeing how freakin’ gorgeous their costumes were, I kind of regretted not trying to talk them into reserving at least 20 minutes for the two of them alone, as I feel I could have taken some cracking pictures.
Oh well! My mistake.
After all, To err is human, TO AARRRR IS PIRATE.
