Maria Conte and Lino Genco married on 20th March, 2010, and held their reception at Denbies, Dorking. Their theme was vintage Italian garden.

Maria says: "Lino proposed to me on bended knee in a park in Chicago, while we were over there attending a friend's wedding. When I look back it always makes me laugh, because not only was he sweating with nerves, but he was sweating from running around trying to find a method of payment for the ring, as the stores in Chicago only took Amex! He wanted to propose while we were in Chicago, and it was our last day there.
"For both of us the best part of the day was seeing each other for the first time at the altar. After all the build-up, it was such a relief to hold each other's hand at the front of the altar.
"We included a couple of surprises on the day - the best was our surprise wedding singer, Luca. He posed as a waiter and after a few bum notes, he burst out a traditional Italian song, which had every single surprised guest clapping along! I can still recall everyone's faces - while Luca was singing badly everyone was looking at us and we acted as though we were very upset, but just at the point where Luca turned it around, we burst out laughing."
