A romantic late summer wedding! Sharon and Rod are a couple in love who wanted to fulfill their dream of love in a unique and fascinating place. They chose Sicily for their dream wedding in Italy! When I suggested to celebrate their wedding in a castle with a beautiful terrace and magnificent sea views, bride and groom got very excited! They wanted a simple, intimate elegant ad most of all a Scottish wedding in Sicily by the Mediterranean Sea and they had it!

Sharon and Rod chose to celebrate their wedding in a romantic historical venue. They chose Norman castle of Aci Castello. It is a very fascinating wedding venue with its terraces overlooking cobalt blue sea and lava rocks coming from Etna Volcano.
Bride and groom fell in love with many Sicilian spots where they could plan their special day. At the end they decided to celebrate their legal civil ceremony on the terrace of the castle overlooking the stacks of Aci Trezza.
