Be careful what you wish for.

We wished for a wedding adventure... little did we know it would start before we left RDU with a 3hr delay turning into a cancelled flight, a delayed second flight, missing our connecting flight to Europe at JFK, begging Delta to pay for the flight they made us miss so that we could make our appointment with the Consulate in Florence, and praying they would finish the paperwork before the plane finished boarding so we could make our 1 am flight to Paris. Thankfully we got our paperwork, hand delivered to the gate, 2 minutes before boarding and we arrived in Florence only 7 hours later than planned. Plus we got to fly over the Alps, which was a first for both of us. Lastly when we arrived in Florence we caught a taxi to our campground on the other side of town. We saw our first television screen in a dashboard on which our taxi driver watched the highlights of the lastest soccert match while adjusting it's color and brightness and dodging bicyclists and vespas all while driving.
