TheresaThoma Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Definitely check into the blessing by the Pope. I had a friend who recently got married and she and her new husband went to Rome for their honeymoon and received the blessing. Her mom mentioned something about the bride wearing her wedding dress. Not sure on the exact details though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, do you have it all planned? :) I was at the travel agent today actually. :) Waiting on prices for flights, which I will book on Tuesday, and the hotel and tours for the Vatican and Pompeii are booked. We have eight nights reserved at a four star hotel, which I did not expect to be able to afford. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed in at least five hotels that trip so it's hard to pinpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photosynthesis Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 My husband and I went to Rome on our honeymoon and like you, we were into the traditional Mass. There was one happening when we went to Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, which is a fascinating Dominican church where the body of St. Catherine of Siena was buried (but her head's in Siena and we went there too!) We stayed with the Religious Teachers Fillippini right near St. Peter's. It was booked via Monastery Stays but you can pay less if you book it through the order. The rooms were not "four star" but they were cheap and the nuns knew we were on our honeymoon so they pushed the two twin beds together :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
