The Temple ...

 

The Wedding ceremony will take place in the church Santi Giovanni e Paolo al Celio in Rome. You see - one Saint is not enough for us.
 
The church is actually an ancient basilica in Rome, located on the Caelian Hill - or to be more precise for the navigator, GPS etc.: Piazza Santi Giovanni e Paolo, 00184 Roma or 41° 53′ 11,3″ N, 12° 29′ 31,5″ O ...

The church was built in 398, by will of the Senator Pammachius, over the home of two Roman soldiers, John and Paul (Giovanni e Paolo), martyred under the emperor Julian in 362.

The church was damaged during the sack by Alaric I (410) and because of an earthquake (442) restored by Pope Paschal I (824), sacked again by the Normans (1084) and again restored, with the addition of a monastery and a bell tower.

Furthermore the church is home to the Passionists and the burial place of St. Paul of the Cross.

Being the church so dear to both Romans and Barbarians, we thought it would be the perfect place for us to get marry. See you there on December 1st at 15:30.
