Here, the couple sits at a table together with their eyes on the mayor, who performs the ceremony.

Choosing to get married in a unique setting like that of a castle is not for everyone, but Kathy and Ivan have exceeded all expectations. Their wedding took place along the Three Castles of Bellinzona, registered since 2000 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The civil ceremony took place at the Castle of Sasso Corbaro, also called the castle of Cima, where the mayor of Bellinzona formalized their union. Immediately afterward, we went to the Montebello Castle for a very short photo session with the newlyweds.
