Wedding on the Po Delta

The most beautiful photoshooting ever

The most incredible day of my life? Difficult to choose, I’m a girl who has seen a lot: I like intense emotions and challenging myself. I’m also a nature lover, and I’ve seen a lot of breathtaking landscapes. However, I have to say that thinking about the day I met the love of my life still makes me emotional. Yes, because destiny wanted me and my soul mate, my perfect half, to met during a horse ride in the Po Delta Regional Park. It was the first time for me there, and I was so excited by the sight of the warm-coloured autumn twilight, watching the sun sliding over the long natural landscape. In that moment our eyes met, and we almost fell off!

Then, we found out we had a lot of passions in common: we are both sensitive to environmental issues, and we are passionate about adventures and open-air activities! And then, finally the crucial moment arrived: we got married! When he made the proposal I couldn’t stop crying, but then, with a clear head, I was sure about one thing: I wanted a fairytale wedding.

A wonderful photoshooting

It was really difficult finding the location to finally crown our love, but in the end we didn’t have any doubts: Villa Anconetta, an ancient Country House situated in the park, which has been now renovated and made an agritourism! I must admit that one of the most important features of this place was the stunning park surrounding it: the perfect place to make a fairytale photoshooting! We called a wedding photographer and now there’s nothing I love more than watching pictures of that magic day: in my line dress, portraited on the shore, I looked like an “anguana”, a typical nymph of the mytology of that place. My beloved Loris was handsome in his dark dress, kissed by the sunlight. The flowery arch made up for the ceremony was perfect, but here’s the kicker: I decided to make my way down the aisle on a horse, just like the day we met! Among applauses and tears of joy, exchanging vowes there, with our voices broken by sighs and emotion, was really beautiful.

The Location

And the park is really incredible and undiscovered. The quietness, interrupted only by the sound of the river and by the singing of the birds, the cottages for fishers, and the far in the landscape you can see fields, because it is a drained and fertile soil used for agricolture. The more you get near the see, the colour of the land change, from black to pearl gray. All of these beauties surely didn’t go unnoticed, and our guest congratulated with us for the perfect choice of the place, and many of them decided to go back there to try some of the activities you can do, like birdwatching or sailing on the river with a boat.

The lunch

For the lunch we moved inside the restaurant, that was set up just for us with white tablecloths and table centerpieces made of white roses. Then we chose a typical fish menu: spaghetti with clams and radicchio rice, grilled eel, radicchio wraps, fried shrimps and white polenta, and as a dessert a delicious tiramisu, to honor the semplicity and the traditions of Veneto. Nothing made me happier that seeing my guests satisfied while eating food of the land where I found my soul.

I have no words to describe that magic moment, that now, after a couple of month, I remember like a little window of dream on the everyday routine that we are trying to set up in our new life together (but without giving up our excursions!). Po Delta Regional Park is a stunning place, and I hope everyone can spend there unforgettable moments just like mine.
