Michaela and Ben&#8217;s Italian vintage wedding"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"lead\">12 guests accompanied Shrewsbury couple Michaela and Ben to Rome for their Italian vintage wedding held on August 31, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Given we were on a small budget, a close family wedding sounded perfect,&#8221; says the bride, 29. &#8220;And where better to have the most memorable day and time of our lives than in beautiful Roma.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Given their 5pm ceremony time, Michaela enjoyed a relaxing breakfast with her mother and later joined her mother-in-law and bridesmaids to get ready at their leisure.<\/p>\n<p>Michaela and Ben, 26, tied the knot with the help of an English translator at their traditional Italian ceremony at Red Hall in Campidoglio.<\/p>\n<p>The newlyweds then bundled into their tiny wedding car and embarked on a tour of Rome, capturing their wedding photos at popular tourist destinations, before later joining their guests at Antica Pesa for food, speeches and drinks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our wedding wasn&#8217;t huge, flashy or trying to impress,&#8221; says Michaela. &#8220;Instead it was intimate, personal, emotional, hilarious, full of love and totally perfect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Max D&#039;Alesandro\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scattispontanei.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Max
