BOSTON (WCVB) — “My dog consumed my research” is among the oldest reasons in the book, however “My dog consumed my passport” might be a brand-new one. That’s precisely what one Massachusetts couple said taken place and it is now threatening their opportunity to get wed in Europe.
Donato Frattaroli, of South Boston, and his fiancée went to municipal government to submit the intent of marital relationship kinds on Thursday, simply over a week prior to they are set to fly out to Italy — where the couple’s wedding event is scheduled for Aug. 31.
Hours after their see to municipal government, a problem unfolded at the couple’s home unfolded when Chickie, the couple’s 1-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever, chewed through several pages of Frattaroli’s passport.
Frattaroli and his fiancée are now called state authorities to help get them both to the altar in Italy in time.
“I’m simply a little stressed out,” Frattaroli said Saturday. “Luckily, Congressman (Stephen) Lynch’s workplace and Sen. (Ed) Markey’s workplace have actually been incredibly responsive. They’ve been in touch, a minimum of with me and the State Department, to attempt to speed up things and get a brand-new passport. Keep my fingers crossed and, ideally, whatever will work itself out.”
The couple’s flight to Italy is scheduled to leave Friday. Frattaroli said if he is not able to get his expedited passport prior to the flight, his fiancée and all of their wedding event visitors will take a trip to Italy without him. If the passport does not be available in time for Frattaroli to make it in time for the wedding event, he will invite his fiancée and the wedding event visitors when they go back to the United States.
