I had also given a lot of thought to where I would take you on our honeymoon. I wanted this all to be a secret: I thought it would be fun to just take you onto the plane not knowing where you were going, and let you experience each new stage as a new surprise. Here is what I had planned:

A few days in Vienna, staying at the Grand Hotel and basking in the glorious musical history of the place.

Then a train to Italy. We'd stop at Paneveggio, the musical forest.

Then in Cremona

Then  on to Tuscany, to spend a week or so in an agriturismo, which is a fully working traditional farm, where the guests live and eat with the family, which usually has owned and operated the manor and lands for generations.

For the wedding I assumed you already would know what you wanted, and thought I would leave it to your preference. Not to say I would leave all the work to you: just that we would do what you wanted. It would be your day--every dream of mine would be coming true just by you being there, standing opposite me. My only thought was that I would want something relatively modest, which I remember you saying was your wish too. Something elegant and beautiful, but not lavish or excessive. Your taste is exquisite, and I know whatever you chose would be perfect. Oh, I did have one other thought: that if you like uniforms, I could wear my cavalry dress blues, with riding boots and saber.
