With its ancient castle and villas, Florence is one of the most popular destinations for weddings. The medieval Castello di Vincigliata is a very fascinating location where lovers from all over the world decide to become husband and wife. According to the legend, the spirit of Donna Bianca roams among the walls of the castle. She was a pretty girl who died of a broken heart after the killing of the man she loved  before her eyes on the day of the their wedding. Donna Bianca protects all loves, especially impossible ones…

June 24th was really hot. Alan was in the midst his preparations at the Fattoria di Maiano, a few kilometres from the centre of Florence, from where it was possible to witness the spectacle of the hills of Fiesole , the village and the scattering of houses kissed by the sun. We met Sharon at The Grand Hotel Minerva, in the historic centre of Florence. We finally  reached the castle and found some respite from the sun  in the shadows of the castle walls.. The moving ceremony was held at the Court of Vincigliata Castle, prepared with attention to every detail by Ben Singleton. After  we wandered through the rooms of the Castle with Sharon and Alan, taking in the history of the place built centuries ago.
