30. A Very Expensive Yes (Culture Shot)
November 23rd, 2008
Learn Italian with LearnItalianPod! Laura, a great friend who lives in Florence, Italy, sent us a wonderful email. She says: “I’m about to get married with the love of my life, a nice and charming Italian man, and I couldn’t be any happier! But let me tell you… I had no idea a wedding cost so much money here in Italy until I started planning mine! I read that couples in Italy are forking out the equivalent of two years’ salary to pay for their wedding day, and I found it to be true! I believe this could be a great subject for one of your Culture Shots, Jane & Massimo…” Absolutely, Laura! So today, let’s learn a thing or two about this “wedding day spending madness” that Italians have caught, and let’s take a look at the “dark side” of the wedding day… a bleeding wallet! Enjoy!
