Proposal
Kristina and Dmitry. The Mouth of Truth... and Love
Every beautiful wedding begins with a beautiful proposal 💍. One of the most romantic films about Italy and Rome became the source of inspiration for Dmitry. The young man decided to propose to his beloved Kristina in the Eternal City, in the style of the Oscar-winning 50s film “Roman Holiday” starring the incomparable Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck..
Dmitry, with the help of the WowItaly Team, developed a whole plan to win Her heart, disguising his intentions as a themed photoshoot 😎.
Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, scooters, great mood, and sunny Rome… But the main surprise awaited Kristina ahead.
In “Roman Holiday,” there is quite a funny moment related to Bocca della Verità, or the Mouth of Truth (an ancient round marble slab with an image of the mask of Triton, which became the “lie detector” in the Middle Ages).
Along the route of the themed photoshoot, Kristina and Dmitry came to the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, where the Mouth of Truth is located in its portico. Traditionally, a queue forms to place a hand in the hole of the ancient slab and, of course, take a photo for memory. Our heroes were no exception.
Just like Princess Anna in “Roman Holiday,” Kristina also put her hand into the Mouth… where she found a note with an unfinished text (how did it get there?😉). And Dmitry had already asked his main question aloud, kneeling in front of Kristina.
And, quite unexpectedly, her favorite melody Hotel California played, skillfully performed by the guitarist – our “undercover agent,” who was waiting for the right moment.
When the numerous tourists in line for the Mouth of Truth realized they were witnessing such a romantic event, they rewarded the couple with wild applause and congratulations. It was such a touching moment that sent chills down everyone’s spine. And, of course, Kristina said “Yes!” 😍🤗
Later, we received a letter from Dmitry with the following words:
Marina, good afternoon! The preparations for our wedding are already in full swing 🙂
The photos are wonderful, we reviewed them last night before bed and are very happy!
Thank you and Anna for your efforts and work in organizing such an important event for us!
Dmitry and Kristina, we wish for your love to be eternal, as eternal as Rome. May your marriage always have a place for romance, spontaneity, and pleasant surprises – after all, they beautify our lives!
