Things to do

I hope your schedule will allow you to arrive a few days early or stay a few days later...hopefully both! We will likely arrange a tour of the Tuscan hill towns sometime during the 4 day celebration. Maybe some from below: http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/destinations/italy/ctlitaly_hilltowns.htm
Since you will have a taste of the countryside at the villa and surrounding area, spend a couple of days in Rome for the city and historical experience. Here are some suggestions:

With all of our scheduling issues and geographical challenges, we are excited to finally announce the date and location of our wedding! We will be wed Thursday May 6th, 2010 in Siena Italy. The celebration begins the evening of Tuesday May 4th at Villa Catignano, http://www.villacatignano.it/ . The Villa is a lovely estate with self catering apartments, formal gardens, and even a quaint little chapel. Explore the region and enjoy the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We would love to see you there. We look forward to a relaxing time with our family and closest friends.

Here is an idea of what we have planned so far:

May 4th, Tuesday night: Arrive at the Villa, check in and enjoy a Welcome Pizza Dinner and local wine in the garden.

May 5th, Wednesday: Enjoy yourself. We'll hire a bus to take a tour around Tuscany.

May 6th, Thursday afternoon: The Wedding Day, reception dinner and dancing to follow.

May 7th, Friday: Casual Brunch at the Villa and exploring all day.

May 8th, Saturday: Check out in the morning, consider extending your trip with a few nights in Rome, Florence, or anywhere in the lovely Tuscan region.
