Here comes the bride....,
And if she's coming to a church in Italy, she's probably arriving in a fabulous classic Italian automobile! Vintage autos play a big part in traditional weddings in Italy. Perhaps it's their “Something Old” from the standard wedding rhyme. Not that they need any excuse to include these beauties, as a matter of fact classic Italian cars seem to play a big role in many of their celebrations and ceremonies. When we recently attended a wedding in Santa Anna, Italy, the cars were definitely part of the main event!
The bride made a glamorous entrance in a vintage Fiat 1100 Millecento decked out in strategically placed white bows that complimented the already awesome little car. Not far behind the bride came the groom and what seemed like a 100 of his friends on motorcycles, his bike similarly embellished as well. All of these elegantly dressed gentleman arriving on their powerful bikes, dramatic sight to see!
After the newlyweds finished exchanging vows, they took their first ride as a married couple in a vintage Ciao, with a handmade sidecar attached for the bride. The bride however, appeared very nervous much to the delight of the crowd, as the little scooter carried the couple in a hitching, stop start circle around the piazza of the church while the spectators cheered them on.
In the end it was a wedding we'll remember, but the addition of these little vintage treasures took it over the top and gave it that playful, stylish Italian twist that we love!
