Weddings are all about making memories, and Mariella and Graden did just that by turning tradition on its head and saying ‘I do’ in one of the most unexpected (yet totally Maltese!) venues imaginable: a boċċi club, specifically one of the more popular ones, located in Għaxaq.
The couple made history by hosting the largest-ever wedding reception held on a boċċi pitch in Malta, surrounded by 330 guests who joined in on the celebration of love.
The choice of venue was not only unique but also a loving nod to one of Malta’s most cherished pastimes. The game of boċċi – which dates back to the Roman Empire and is played around the world as bocce in Italy or boules in France – has been a staple of Maltese village life for generations, especially among older members of the community.
Congratulations to the happy couple on their beautiful and one-of-a-kind celebration!
