Our Amalfi Coast Wedding

Our Amalfi Coast Wedding

The first questions I get asked when I tell someone that my husband and I had our wedding off the Amalfi Coast in Italy are: “Are either of you Italian?” and “why Italy?.” First off, thanks to 23andme I can say that I am part Italian, but that had nothing to do with that decision. And secondly, why not Italy? My husband and I first went to Italy in 2017 and we fell madly in love. When we got engaged, we debated about getting married near our home in Florida. The problem is that I kept looking for rustic villas that looked like somewhere that could be found in Italy. One day, Matt said:

“Why try to make Florida look like Italy, when we can just get married in Italy.”

And that’s it. That’s all it took. We decided right then and there that we would figure out how to get married in Italy. We chose to have a beautiful Amalfi Coast wedding, specifically Positano, Italy.

Our First Time in the Amalfi Coast

Here is a fun fact about our wedding… Prior to getting married in Positano, we had never been to Positano. We had never seen the venue, we had never tried to food, we had never listen to the DJ perform, and so on. We literally booked and paid for everything halfway across the world then showed up days before the wedding and hoped for the best! You may be asking yourself, why would we take such a big risk on one of the most important days of our lives? Because why not. Life is best lived taking chances and pushing yourself outside your comfort zone. And believe me, this was far outside our comfort zone but it was undoubtedly and absolutely worth it.

Find yourself a partner that is just as crazy as you are, think big, go far outside your comfort zone, and take leaps of faith together. You’ll be amazed at where you may land.
