Juan and Claudia, Catholic wedding in Venice

Venice, September 14^th 2013.

Ciao Saraaaaaa!!! Finalmente ho un po' di tempo per scriverti!!! Mi dispiace il ritardo. We returned to California just about 2 weeks ago and had to go right back to work and catch up on everything.

I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you did for us for our wedding. We could not have done it without you and it was my dream come true. Veramente. Actually, it was above and beyond anything that I ever expected and we will never ever forget every moment of our fairy tale wedding. Everything was perfect and stunning and captured exactly the vision that I had. If I had to rate my wedding from 1-10, I would give it an 11!!!

We are incredibly happy and blessed for having had the wedding of our dreams in one of the most romantic cities in the world and also a very important City in my life. Truly, we both wish we could re-live that day everyday. It felt like we were celebrities and it was absolutely enchanting. That is my best word to describe that day... ENCHANTING!! Ahhhh, when I think about it, all the feelings come back and it makes me so happy to have such spectacular memories. I believe, very much, that we write our own stories in life, and I love that our story starts like this :)

We cannot wait to receive our professional photos and videos. The photographer said everything should be ready by Christmas so we are already waiting anxiously to receive them so we can relive our special day over and over again! I can't wait to share those photos with you.

I am so lucky I was able to find your company on the internet, and even luckier that I found you as my wedding planner and friend. You were the best, most friendly, most professional person to work with and I still hope we can meet one day face to face. If you ever come to California, please think of me. My husband and I would be more than happy to have you and your family stay with us so that we can continue to nurture our friendship for years to come! You are my first friend that I can comfortably speak either English or Italian with, and this is a luxury I usually only have with my sisters!

I hope we continue to keep in touch and write to each other. Johnny and I are planning our official honeymoon for next March. We will be going to Bora Bora for 1 week! We could not go right away because we were advised it was hurricane season and that it was better to wait until Spring. I wish we could go for longer than 1 week, but here in America we don't get a lot of vacation time.

I hope you are doing fantastic and please share some news as I am always happy to hear from you, my dear friend!

Again thank you for everything and ci sentiamo molto presto!!!

Hugs and kisses to the best wedding planner EVER!

Your California friend,

Claudia
