Cetara, a foodie hot spot. Say your vows on the
sprawling terrace above the glittering Gulf of
Salerno, caressed by sea breezes. Amore!
Local charm: Add some emerald; brides tradi-
tionally wear green on the eve of their wed-
dings. And don't forget to toast with prosecco,
per favore.
Good to know: A "nulla osta" or certificate of
non-impediment, as well as passports, birth
certificates and an affidavit of marriage, plus
any documentation of divorce, annulment or
the death of a former spouse (all officially cer-
tified and translated into Italian) must all be
presented in person, with two witnesses and
an interpreter, to the civil registrar in Italy at
least three days prior to the ceremony. After-
ward, a certified copy of the marriage certifi-
cate can be requested for authentication. W

rustic villa under the Tuscan sun; (bottom) Tuscany
offers plenty to occupy wedding guests before and
after the ceremony: wine tasting, cooking classes
or simply wandering the streets of medieval villages.
