UN MATRIMONIO MOVIMENTATO: Un giovane di parola. Alla vigilia delle nozze Francesco D., abitante in una borgata della Valle Imagna, scese a Bergamo per ritirare il braccialetto che doveva offrire alla fidanzata. Sulla via del ritorno fu investito da un camion. Raggiunse la propria casa. Il mattino dopo, abbondantemente bendato, il giovane, per non mancare alla parola data, si presentò in chiesa. E qui attese la propria sposa. Questa, vedendolo così conciato, svenne. Quando riprese i sensi, la cerimonia ebbe luogo. Il sacerdote benedisse le nozze e si compiacque con Francesco per la forza d'animo.
AN EVENTFUL WEDDING: A young man of his word. On the eve of the wedding of Francesco D., living in a township of the Imagna Valley, went to Italy to pick up the bracelet to be offered to his girlfriend. On the way back he was hit by a truck. He reached his home. The next morning, heavily bandaged, the youth, not to break his word, went to church. And here was waiting his own wife. This, seeing the state he was in, she fainted. When he recovered consciousness, the ceremony took place. The priest blessed the wedding and was pleased with Francesco's fortitude.
Please excuse the TERRIBLE translation, my Italian is still not very good! But I thought the story was too great not to share in English.
