Caroline and Christophe’s love story is one of those perfect ones that doesn’t need many words. They had always dreamed of getting married in the charming town of Orvieto, Umbria (yes, that's my hometown!). Even though they ultimately decided to marry in Belgium for practical reason, they knew they couldn’t leave without having a private exchange of vows in Orvieto, the town that had captured their hearts.
Their love was evident without a single word; it was in the way they looked at each other, completely immersed in the moment. After we exchanged a few emails, I saw this girl, dressed in white, walking towards me in Orvieto's Piazza del Duomo, and I knew immediately—it had to be her.
After a tour of the town, which they already knew so well and love so much, and some romantic and amusing photographs shot along the way, we headed to Agriturismo Lapone, where theygot emotional while exchanging vows in their own language, which no, I could not understand, but, really, love and commitment were already so evident in their glances that no translation was needed.
