Romance is in the air today!

If you're feeling a little romantic today it's because love abounds on September 12. (Please excuse class being delayed a day).

Today is the day in history that Clementine Hozier married Winston Churchill (1908). Jacqueline Lee Bouvier married John F. Kennedy in Newport Rhode Island (1953). Aren't weddings wonderful?

Many times the wedding is the highpoint of the entire marriage (or maybe I am being a bit cynical). But if you are planning to get married, remarried or just want to renew your wedding vows I have some fabulous news for you!

I am sure you fancy that 'you and your love interest' are the most romantic couple on Earth, but you may have also heard of "Romeo and Juliet." Well, the two of you need to jump the next flight to Verona, Italy, and follow in Romeo and Juliet's famous footsteps.

The 13th Century mansion belonging to the Cappello family (believed to be the inspiration for William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet)is now available for your own wedding vows. Yes, it's true. Now you, too, can get married on the balcony on which Juliet romanced by a wooing Romeo.

Once married, you can flee to France and honeymoon in the Chateau region. Hold hands on the grounds of beautiful castles and drink lots of wonderful red wine. Revel in your bouty of love and live, "Happily Ever After."
