Italian Weddings
Part 1 of 4: Introduction

by Anthony Parente

Like many cultures there are a variety of customs and traditions that take place before, during and after one gets married. Italy is no exception. What makes Italian weddings so intriguing is that the customs and traditions vary from region to region as well as town to town. This makes writing about Italian wedding traditions and customs a difficult task.

Who could better help explain some of the traditions and customs that take place at an Italian wedding than someone who has planned weddings throughout Italy. The staff at Regency San Marino, who specialize in Weddings in Italy were more than happy to help answer questions that I had about Italian weddings. My questions focused on the engagement process, the actual mass and the reception that follows. It will give you a great look at the traditions and customs that occur and whether they are still carried on today. I wish to thank Regency San Marino for the great in depth answers that they provided. I am sure you will enjoy reading them.
