Here we see the couple exiting the ceremony arm-in-arm, and the groom must shield his face as guests shower the newlyweds with handfuls of rice.

This couple chose to be married at a location as beautiful and iconic as it is unique. The San Galgano Abbey was the perfect backdrop for this elegant and sunny day. The Abbey is peculiar in that it doesn’t have a roof, making it ideal for the sun to filter through its ornate windows, creating fascinating designs and patterns of sunlight on the ground.
