Susanne and Adrian, with the help of Lake Garda wedding planners Getting Married in Italy, tied the knot at at the top of Torri del Benaco’s castle tower. With just enough room for friends and family to witness this moving ceremony with the whole of Lake Garda as a backdrop and to the sound of live cello and violin, the moment was sealed with a “brindisi” of ice-cold Prosecco produced by the Mayor after the marriage deeds were signed, in a sign of pure Italian hospitality.

After the ceremony, Susanne and Adrian stopped for some photos at the lower tower and lemon grove, then the party headed back to Sirmione by speed boat, taking in the sights of the Isola del Garda, San Vigilio and hot springs of Sirmione (see if you can spot the hot water bubbles!) as they went.
