Sam and Emma chose not to get married in a castle in Scotland, instead they chose a Malcesine Castle on beautiful Lake Garda, Italy.
May it be sweet milk, this marriage, like wine and halvah. May this marriage offer fruit and shade, like the date palm. May this marriage be full of laughter, our everyday a paradise. May this marriage be a sign of compassion, a seal of happiness here and hereafter. May this marriage have a fair face and a good name, an omen as welcome as the moon in a clear blue sky. I am out of words to describe how spirit mingles in this marriage. Jalalud’din Rumi

If you would like discovering the hidden pearls of Lake Garda, we recommend to take a ride on an ancient sailing ship. You can get on board at the port of Malcesine and sail North to admire corners that would not be visible from the mainland. You can even cross the lake and reach the opposite shore to visit Limone del Garda village where the ancient lemon groves stand: an unforgettable Italian panorama!
