My Wedding Day with Lottie Ryan: We were having our party on the mountainside — so it couldn’t rain!

'We had about 40 Irish people coming to the wedding, and a lot of our friends were put up, very kindly, in people’s homes'
My Wedding Day with Lottie Ryan: We were having our party on the mountainside — so it couldn’t rain!

Lottie Ryan and her husband Fabio cut their cake.

We got married in May 2017 in Italy. We’d actually got legally married in Ireland back in March that year. It’s funny — I think the registry office day was the bigger day for the two of us. Even though it was literally just our two immediate families, so a very small group of us, it was just very special.

My husband Fabio is from a very small village that’s north of Naples and south of Rome. It’s called Macchia. It’s a very old community, steeped in tradition. I couldn’t even fully describe to my wedding guests where they were going. It’s so, so rural. And it was hard for them to understand that there’s no hotel, no taxis, there’s no conveniences around; this is literally in the mountains.
