I've been really busy putting together all the wedding plans, and some things have well, just gone wrong. Unfortunately we found out to our great disappointment that we cannot get married on the beach as we wished we could. There is a law in Italy that does not allow you to get married civilly outside of the City Hall; although we did ask the City of Cagliari for a special permit, and they granted us one, the City of Pula said no. The resort where we are have the reception is in Pula City limits and not Cagliari's, so it's their jurisdiction... what a bummer. So We'll be having the civil ceremony at Cagliari's City Hall (because Pula's City Hall is just HORRIBLE). Cagliari's City Hall is very beautiful , it is an 18th century building built in Liberty style; it was bombarded on Feb. 26th 1943 during WW2 and then restored.
As for the weekend... here are a few pix to enjoy!
Enrico over looking a surf peak, but there weren't any waves to his dismay!

Me trying not to get too much sun all at once...

Beaches in the distance
Beach we were at called Porto Paglia (Port Hay)
Bent trees from the strong North West winds
Green hills with bent trees as we left....

What an interesting law...but at least the city hall building is so pretty! I can't wait to see how everything turns out!
personaly, I think the law is pretty stupid. If you get married religiously you can have it where ever you want because a religious ceremony has civil value.... Italy is just backwards sometimes! Grrrr!!!!
