What happens if your venue gets flooded weeks before your wedding? Well if you’re this couple, you stay calm and carry on and manage to have one rockin backyard shindig despite the circumstances. Rain on (or around) your wedding day is good luck after all, isn’t that the way the story goes? It must be, because this day is brimming over with love and family and the cutest of touches.

From young children running thru the streets holding hands, to the madly-in-love leaning against a lamp post.  Apparently the old adage “you’ve never lived until you’ve loved in Rome” is alive...
