Guests throwing confetti as the newlyweds leave the church

A village church wedding in Soriso, Piedmont

A real wedding

A villa on the edge of Soriso, the parish church down the road, and an evening that ended with aperitivo in the courtyard. The whole day happened within one village, and it never needed more.
