    I got married in April 2002 in a church called St Silvestro in Rome
    and anyone who gets married in Rome is automatically invited to the Pope's weekly public audience each Wednesday in St.Peters
    in the Vatican.

    You're required to don your wedding outfits (again !) and you get
    a special security pass to sit beside the lectern where the Pope gives his weekly public audience every Wednesday at 10.00am

    So myself and the wife went to his weekly audience and you are
    brought through to physically meet and exchange greetings with the Pope.
    You get about 1 minute with him and I have to say it was a great experience.
    Very humbling in fact.

  12. Best and worst thing about Italy is the food, My mouth LOVES it, my waist is not so keen..........
    They invented Roads......(sort of)
    never met an Italian I didnt like (Real friendly lot 🙂 )
