WE GOT MARRIED! | PROPOSAL, BUREAUCRACY, GETTING MARRIED IN ITALY & CIVIL SERVICE IN MILAN 

Can you believe it, me and Enrico got married! All (I think) of your questions answered here :) Timestamps: 01:39 The 'proposal' 04:36 What was the process to get married? 18:08 How does it feel to get married?

Congratulations! I've been subscribed since your Bococoni days and I'm happy for you two! Can't wait to see what the future holds for you!

Holy shit I came back to this channel after like 3-4 years and I can’t believe how much has changed. Your videos and damonandjo content was huge in my decision to be able to go to Scotland to do my undergrad. I never would’ve had the confidence to go to school in another country without y’all. It’s so crazy to see you married now! Congrats that’s awesome

Congratulations! Having "the conversation" is the Italian way of doing things. I prefer it to the "proposal" that's more common in English speaking countries.

My husband didn’t propose either. We had a conversation as well. We wanted to make sure we were on the same page about where our relationship was going. We eloped and then had a big reception later when we had the money for it. I loved how we approached it and I would recommend everyone do it that way. lol

We got married in June 21, it was a little bit hard to understand what a nulla osta is (I'm danish) , but finally we made it. It went totally fine with my comune, I live in a smaller city, maybe that is the case :) We also waited like 1 year after the proposal because my wife had to be Italian first (she's originally nigerian) = un po' di burocrazia in meno. then the pandemic came ... but finally we made it! Non è cambiato molto, gia convivevamo da 6 anni, eccetto che nowwe have a little 3 months old Sven Damilola with us tanti auguri a entrambi !!

I really respect the conversation element of getting married! It doesn’t have to be the man to propose when he’s ready

Congratulations. I believe that's how it should be. Classy and simple. The US has made getting married such a chore with HUGE expectations on everyone. 1)How big is the engagement ring, 2) then the wedding ring, 3) spending on bachelor and bachelorette parties, 4) endless gifts, 5) then the destination weddings, 6) the dresses for the bridesmaids and groomsmen...it's never about just celebrating an actual union of 2 people. It's all about making sure you replicate this process. Everyone gets dragged into fulfilling their "dream" and has to spend enormous amount of money to satisfy the desires of the bride and groom (mostly the bride). It is financially draining for a lot of people., and it shouldn't be. It should be a celebration of a happy moment that one wants to share with people they love. It shouldn't be a burden on other people. I have catered over 100 weddings and most of them are so over the top. People can't afford them and get in debt just for the wedding. What a way to start a new life together! They can't wait to count how much money they received for their wedding just to reimburse themselves for some of the expenses they just had...it's such a racket when you think about it. The bride and groom as so stressed they have to get shit faced just to enjoy their own wedding. I have also done weddings for the same people 2 times...if you get what I mean. You got to love the repeat customers. LOL. The best wedding I have gone to was the simplest one. They are happy and still together. I congratulate you and your future family. xx

Congratulations! I never knew anyone in Italy who did the "proposal". It is always like "You know, we should marry" "Oh, I think you are right". I don't even get all the American concept of "proposal". If I ask someone to marry me, and I do it in a public space, in front of a crowd, with music, balloons, pigeons and a whole choreography and the other says "no", how incredibly humiliating the whole experience is for both!?!

Tutta la parte burocratica è una prova: se te la senti di affrontarla è amore vero ❤️

I LOVE THIS! I'm not keen on a big wedding. Just us two and a few witnesses is super perfect 🥂🍾 Congratulations! 🥂💐

Girl, im so happy for you!!! He seems like such a sincere and low key guy. Congrats 🎈🎊🍾🎉

First things first: congratulations! Getting married is quite easy, in Italy, if you get married where you were born with someone from the same town. If not, well… When I got married in 1997, since I was living at the US at the time, I had to go through the Italian consulate: of course they had very different ideas on the kind of documents I needed. I ended up bringing my future father-in-law cellular phone (in ‘97!) to my wife’s comune offices in order to have the local officer spend half an hour yelling and accusing the consular agent of not knowing the law (and vice versa) until they came to an agreement. And we were able to do that since the officer was on a first name basis with my mother-in-law. I cannot imagine how bad it is in a big city where you don’t know anyone in the town administration and with all the problems getting an appointment with COVID…

Aaaah, congrats to you both! I've been a subscriber since the uni days, and girl, to be able to see you grow throughout the years and create all these amazing milestones while bringing us along for the ride makes me such a happy and proud little subby 🥺💜 I wish you both all the best for the years to come!

Congratssss! My husband and I were the same way. It was a convo for us and we did it (a private wedding with an intimate dinner to follow then we were on a flight to Canada two days after). We moved to Canada for 5 years and now we are travelling the world full-time. We get it 100%!

You can't get married on tuesday?? Omg!!🤣 LIKE COME ON PEOPLE!

I pray that you guys will have many happy years together. Congratulations!!

Congratulations!! It's so amazing having followed you since you were at the Bocconi University now seeing you so happily settled and even married! And in the while defeating the italian bureaucracy! Go girl!

Congratulations! By the way, I married in Italy with an italian guy from a different region, and that came with some burocratic difficulties, but nothing compared to the process of finding a priest available for the day we had planned.. it was surreal, we wanted to marry in the region of origin of my husband (in this way we could afford to offer the hotel to the part of the family that had to travel, which was my family that is smaller) , and no priest wanted to marry us because we weren't resident in the region.. luckily we found a kind one that accepted after we started begging.. one of the priest said to us:" saturday afternoon I go to the market to get groveries, I cannot marry you". Ooooook...

Congrats! wish u both a life full of happiness!!! 👏🏻🌷

i've been watching your content since the very beginning of your channel. this video made me cry, genuinely. out of pure joy. i'm so happy for the both of you and i wish you the best in life

This is so beautiful! I’ve been watching y’all since foreverrr! Since boyfriend challenges were a big deal! Im so so happy for you both! Congratulations beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

"Facciamo a modo nostro e secondo me è il modo giusto per noi~" Sono troppo felice per voi Tia! ❤ Sei sempre stata una forza ispiratrice per me che ti seguo da ormai tanti anni, ed aver avuto modo di seguire la tua crescita fino a questo punto è stato emozionante. Un sogno che spero di coronare presto anche io 🏳️‍🌈💕 I miei più sinceri auguri di una lunga e felice vita assieme 🥰🤧

Tia thank you for sharing this! I’m going through the same exact process with my fiancé and getting crazy. It really relieves me knowing that we are not late in the process it’s just the bureaucracy!!

Congrats again on the wedding 💕 I've been following you since Bocconi days and it just feels like a friend of mine got married!! I can imagine how stressful it must've been - now enjoy the happy buzz!! So happy for you two ✨

"You can't get married on Tuesday" killed me. LOL it was a bit complicated to marry a foreigner here in the states during the pandemic....Obvio not as complicated but making appointments were frustrating. I too, didn't want to have my wedding the same month as my birthday (March) but we had to if we didn't want to wait. My ceremony also became more then what I actually wanted it to be, but anyway I totally understand. However wasn't the day so magical even after all of the bureaucracy? Well it was for me :-)

The thumbnail alone made me gasp!!! Congrats Tia!!! 😍😍😍🎉

Evviva gli Sposi! Wishing you both the very best. There is so much craziness in the world at the moment and not enough love and this news is so heartwarming. Go girl, go!

Yes, times are tough but we are so grateful your shared this moment of love and joy with us! Congrats to you guys and can't wait to see what your future has in store!!!!

Congratulations to you both! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness! Italian bureaucracy is hilarious. I guess if you are tough enough to get through all the bureaucracy, your marriage will surely last the test of time. LOL

Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you two !! ❤️ Anyway as much as I love my country, I know how complicated the procedures for almost everything are, also they never tell you exactly what you need to bring to do something and so you will always have to come back million times. Now that I’m studying law, I know that procedures are so complicated because of their origins (Roman, Germanic and catholic laws, etc…), but if the office workers were just a little bit more efficient it wouldn’t be so difficult to do almost anything 😅Anyway now you are out of the woods and I’m really happy for you 🥰

Been here for so long and I’m so excited and happy for you! Congrats! I’ve watched this journey and it’s a privilege that you’ve shared it with us.

Sto piangendo dall'emozione!! Siete bellissimi, tanti auguri 🥂 🍾

Colombia is the same. What an experience. They tell you piece by piece information and you spend your time on the State Department matters and FedEx. The process is draining, frustrating, and expensive. But you made it and I made it on Valentine's Day 2022. Three witnesses and still to plan the reception. Congratulations!

Congratulazioni a the two newly weds! 🥳 You made a tear drop from my eyes! 🥲 Many blessings and prosperity to come to you two! 🫂😘

Congratulations to you and Enrico!! I’m very happy for the both of you and I wish you a happy marriage! Been routing for you from day dot 🙌🏾

Been here since the very start. Feels surreal. Wanna give you guys a huge hug. 💚💚💚💚💚

Félicitations Tia to you and Enrico!!! Wishing you well with many happy years of being married. This year will be our 30th wedding anniversary. Hard to believe I've been living in France 32 years so more than half my life. Remember that time flies so quickly. Enjoy!

Very happy for you both, Tia! (And much respect for successfully surviving the journey through that hell that our bureaucracy is. Unfortunately in many other fields, as well). Be happy! My warmest wishes !

wow! what a hectic adventure! but so proud of you! and so happy that goal was accomplished, one way or another! Cheers to an amazing "second/Big" wedding day! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ And Happy marriage!

SO WELL SAID. Everything now a days.... is nothing but stress. You nailed it!

Wow, Congratulations and be happy!!!! It is nice to know that you both love each other enough to make that step forward.

You are so put together, well spoken, articulate, intelligent, ambitious, motivated, inspiring, gorgeous, hardworking and so much more.. I just like listening and following your informative vlogs..I rarely comment but I'm always here. I also love when you talk about the requirements and criteria needed for acquiring different documents there. Please keep showing that it's very interesting to me. Congrats to you both on your wedding. God bless..

Tia I'm so happy for you and I'm not a fan of weddings 💕 seeing it pop up on my Instagram feed was such a nice surprise and it looked different and cute, congratulations!! (The bureaucracy part made me laugh out loud in order not to cry and reminded me why I'm not in Italy anymore + why I get angry and tired when I have to deal with its bureaucracy 💀)

I’m glad that his family made it so special

Che belli che siete 🥺🥺🥺 Contentissima per voi, vi auguro il meglio 🤍🤍

congrats Tia! omg this video made me so emotional😭, che siano sempre giorni pieni di amore💜

Congrats to you both! Wishing you a wonderful & blessed union! Take care!🙂

Congratulations, Tia and Enrico!!!! I wish you both happiness and many blessings

Aaaah! Congrats! I've been watching you for so long and I'm so happy for the both of y'all!

Hey Tia! I’ve been following you since the very beginning, and I was always fascinated by the fact that we had a lot in common…just reversed. I moved from Milan to New York in 2014. Lot of bureaucracy on my side too as an Italian international student in the US. Then last year I got married, and because of the pandemic my husband and I also chose to do a small city hall wedding. Kinda similar situation where no body really knew the date we were going to get married and so we picked a date randomly… February 24th 2021!!! 😅 So yeah… just felt compelled to comment! Congratulazioni a te ed Enrico!!! 🎉

I am so happy for you. Mrs. Tia! What a beautiful moment for you and your husband! You are glowing!😍✨

Hi Tia! I've been following you since 2015 and even if I don't know you personally I'm so happy for all your accomplishments. Auguri ragazzi I wish you all the best!

Congratulations! I wish you all a happy and loving future together ❤️

Congratulations! You are keeping it real because most times it's not a formal proposal it's a conversation between two people who decide to get married. Wish you all the best!

Haven’t even finish the video and I HAVE to say CONGRATULATIONS before watching the rest🍾✨❤️🤩🙌🏾 . You’re glowing Tia 🥺SO HAPPY FOR YOU GIRL🙌🏾

Soooo happy for you!!! I wondered for a long time when you would get married! Congratulations!💖💖

Congratulations to you both ❤️ May God bless your union to be healthy, whole and prosperous. I can't wait to see how beautifully your family grows. I'm new to your channel. You remind me so much of my beautiful daughter in law ❣️

Congratulations!! Happy for you and Enrico. 😀 I admire your strength, courage, and perseverance. It's not an easy feat to get married over here. You did it! Cheering for you. I've lived in Italy with my Italian partner over 10 years now, and we have a 12 year old daughter. If we had gotten married, I could've applied for citizenship YEARS AGO, but since we're not married I've waited these 10 years of residency to even THINK about applying... 🤣Like do I even want citizenship at this point, and then to go through the Hell that you're going through?? The paperwork over here is PESANTE!! Don't even get me started on renewing the Permesso (I'm going through that now, and on top of it all I accidentally let my Permesso expire by 2 years LOL I truly didn't realize - the Police officer at the sportello side eyed me the whole time LOL then I had to get fingerprints in a backroom, thank goodness she was nice).... the Questura di Milano is a HOT MESS - even with an appointment, wait outside 1 hour (minimum), wait inside 4 hours, never enough seats (I stood for 3 hours), then after the window, come back in a month WHEN/IF they send you a text to let you know you can come pick it up. "distanza di sicurezza" non-existent. Everyone in there just turning blind eyes all around. 😩 Even my partner, who has lived in the Milan area for 20 years said the place needed help. And I can't get started with those "marco da bollos" Oh Lord help us!!! And how we stranieri are often treated, sometimes if I don't walk out I know I'm gonna end up in prison. 🤣 I also noticed that when you mention wedding or baby to Italians - they make MIRACLES happen! 😆 So happy for you and Enrico. Wishing you both a lifetime of laughter, good wine, and love. : )

Congratulations! I have been following you on RU-vid since the Bocconi days and I am very happy to watch all your achievements throughout these years 😊

“In Milan you can’t get married on a Tuesday” I screamed out loud laughing 😭 those people are sick 💀💀💀💀

Congrats! I just found your channel and I've surprised myself I actually watched the whole thing.....To sum it all up: YOU are the total package, I love your look, I love your energy, you are amazing, your husband is a blessed man.....🥰🌺🌹🥀🌿

Congratulations 🎉 I was just checking in to see what’s new from Tia! May you have all the happiness in the world ❤

Congratulazioni Tia, è una cosa davvero grande. Vi auguri tantissimi anni felici💫

OMG, you were stunning! Like out of a fashion magazine! Congrats guys!!!

Wow...what an evolution for you and your life! Great to see the growth!! I remember having a few exchanges with you about you and Enrico visiting Fano (where he is from if I'm not mistaken!). Really inspiring to see how far you've come...to your continued success!

Congrats Tia and Enrico ❤❤ Welcome to Italy with all the ups and downs. I am married to an Italian but we got married in the Caribbean.. Sending love from Torino..

You look absolutely beautiful with your natural hair 😍

Awe! Tia! I remember when you first made videos moving to Italy years ago and have been such a fan of you! Congratulations to you and Enrico! ❤️

Omg Tia! Congratulazioni per il matrimonio 😍!! dopo tanti anni passati a seguire il tuo canale, mi fa così piacere saperti felice insieme ad Enrico 😍Eravate bellissimi alla cerimonia ❤️😍un big hug!! Io non penso mi sposerò, ma in compenso ho avuto una baby girl che ora ha 3 mesi 🎢😁💪🏼 congrats a Noi! 😂 Ps. Ma che casino è stato trovare tutti i documenti necessari al matrimonio e prendere gli appuntamenti??!! 😱Roba da matti! Comunque, in quello screenshot parla di "ulteriore marca da bollo" quindi si suppone ne sarebbero servite 2..🙄🤣😌Come al solito, in Italia invece di semplificare, si rende la vita più difficile a chiunque 🤦🏽‍♀️

Omg! I’m soooooo happy for you you two! Congratulations Tia and Enrico!

Tia! I could cry! So amazing - congratulations to you two!!! Looked like a beautiful and sweet day!

HALLELUJAH!! If you're in LOVE and spending years together in the same house. Why not get Married? Actually build a Life together...legally. Let the WORLD know we're couple. No more this my "boyfriend" but my husband. Mio Marito. So happy for you!! Viva l'amore! 🎊

Congratulations❤❤ It's incredible how far you have come! You're a whole "wife" now😍😍😍

Congratulazioni per questa tappa così importante. Cavolo quante cose sono cambiate dai tuoi primi video.

Ah, I forgot but I think you already know: in Italy there's a superstition about marrying or leaving for another destination on tuesday and friday, so I guess they cut the personnel on those days due to the low number of requests (but, actually, lots of people travel on friday and maybe they marry too)

Congratulations from another Italian-American couple 😊 I'm from Lake Como and studied in Milan! Btw all of your struggles are most definitely because of how big Milan is, in small villages it's much easier.

Congratulations Tia 😘😘 I am so happy for you, i have been your subscriber since forever and i am just so freaking happy, i feel like i know you guys personally..... I wish you all the best and many many many years of bliss❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

I have followed you for years. You are from the same area in CT I am (and I am Italian American). I am so very happy for your both!

16:57 this is precious, you deserved all the love even if your family couldn't be there, congrats 🤩

Congratulations to you both! May your love last a lifetime👰🏾🤵🏻💍💓💓💘💘💞💞

Tanti auguriiii!!! You’re right, the American consulate in Milan is a breath of fresh air compared to any Italian bureaucratic office. I’m doing citizenship right now and could really relate to everything you said. But now you’re done and can move on to the important part-life together with Enrico!

Wishing both of you that your wonderful journey continues! This made me happy today 😊

Ho iniziato a vedere questo video sperando di sentire una storia romantica, e invece è solo burocrazia 😂 congratulazioni Tia e Enrico!!!

i love this Tia! such a blessing! congrats to you both!!

most congrats to you ,have a wonderful life in marriage and italy

I work in a "town hall" in a small town in Lombardy and I must say that I ALWAYS try to help people, if they don't bring something we let them carry the "revenue stamp" or something else later. I think that in the bigger cities the employees lose contact with the people. I believe that working in "town hall" should be considered a public service, but I have to say that many of my colleagues do not feel the same way and act as if people should thank them just because they are doing the bare minimum in their job.

Omg Tia!! I’m so happy for you two!! ❤️❤️ congratulations!! 😍🥂 I’ve been following for many years and I feel like I saw you grow up! 🥲 and look at you now ☺️☺️ it just sucks that you had to go through all that mess with the comune di Milano, but now, what a relief! And you can focus on planning your wedding party. Can’t wait to see what you have in store!! 🥰🥰😘😘

I'm so happy for you TIA!!!!! I have followed you for so long and all your boyfriend vlogs with Enrico were so cute. Congrats on joining the wifey gang!!! Welcome to the club girl!

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you and wish you the best.

Omg congratulations to you both!! So happy for you guys :)

Congratulations!! Your videos helped me so much when I was applying to college. I’m so happy for you!!

Congratulations!!! So happy for you, wish you a lifetime of happiness together✨

congrats!!! I follow you from the beginning. kinda scary how time flies tbh

Ma che splendida notizia!! Complimenti ragazzi, vi auguro il meglio!🌈

Omg I was just thinking about y’all the other day passing and saw this!!! Congratulations!! 🎊🎈🎉

The beni separati or comuni conversation is SO important! Also me any my boyfriend have had the marriage talk already and we are low-key organising it already even though we don't have a date nor we're officially engaged. But we're two adults who want to spend the rest of pur life together, we are comfortable with each other, so I don't see why we have to wait until "the proposal" to discuss where we would like getting married 😅 I'm still hoplessy romantic and I'd love a traditional proposal, even if it's with an onion ring 🤣 but we already know what our intentions are with one another, and I think that is the most beautiful thing! Congratulations Tia, so happy for both of you!

Major congratulations on this big milestone and moment Tia! Wow! Married!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️ May you both have many more years of joy together!

Congratulations! You too are so adorable and I'm incredibly happy for the both of you.

Tanti Auguri 💛 much love from 🇨🇦 Many wishes to survive the red tape in Italy I love the non proposal...like ours I love the Italian family...well let's just do... Also like ours. Wishing you both a 1000 years of happiness, health and prosperity 💛💛💛 Your outfit was stunning 💛
