A special episode of Affari Tuoi, the program hosted on Rai 1 by Stefano De Martino, aired this evening. On the eve of Valentine’s Day, the broadcast, this time live, could not fail to celebrate love and featured two young people ready to get married: Marco and Giulia, both from Turin. To celebrate the wedding? Stefano De Martino, who for the occasion invited many friends to his studio, in the Teatro delle Vittorie in Rome (Pippo Baudo’s home): from Benedetta Parodi to Fabio Caressa, who have been a constant couple for years, passing through Federica Nargi, Alessandro Matri, Massimo Ranieri, Brenda Lodigiani, Francesco Paolantoni, Giovanni Esposito, Peppe Iodice and Simon & The Stars. As “packagers”? Not the classic representatives of the various Regions. Behind each package are the guests, that is, the relatives and friends of the two betrothed.
Marco and Giulia, he is a 28-year-old engineer and she is a 26-year-old nursery school educator, they met in a nightclub, have been a steady couple for some time and are now ready to get married. They chose to participate in the special episode of Affari Tuoi and played a perfect game. They immediately found three blues in the first pitches, then accepted the change: they left their pack 17 and opted for pack 7, which they carried until the end. A right choice because in the package, the one wanted by fate, there were just 10 euros. And between letters, emotions, great laughter, rejected (and chopped) offers from the doctor, the moment of truth then arrived for the two. What did they win? Did they return home empty-handed, but with a heart full of joy? The two betrothed arrived at the end of the game with 200 euros on one side and 250,000 euros on the other. All or nothing.
Marco and Giulia married at Affari Tuoi: what was in their package
The doctor’s last phone call, the last offer of 90,000 euros. “This money would give us a big hand, it’s difficult to choose. On the one hand we have a lot, on the other very little”, said the two betrothed. “We received very high offers, we made the change which brought us good results,” they continued. But then they made up their minds and accepted the offer. Wrong, obviously with hindsight. In their package, the one they had chosen, there were 250,000 euros.
Stefano De Martino celebrates the wedding live
In any case, Marco and Giulia returned home with a check for 90,000 euros. And as husband and wife. Stefano De Martino celebrated the wedding live at the end of the episode. “You have come here to get married. Let’s proceed with the exchange of wedding rings”, said the host complete with a sash. Then he crowned that great love by pronouncing the fateful phrase: “For the power given to me by Rai, Italian Radio and Television, in the presence of your families, your friends and the Rai 1 audience, I have the great pleasure of declaring you husband and wife. And now you can kiss the bride”.
Marco and Giulia played a courageous game, they let themselves be carried away by their emotions, but in the end they ‘gave in’ to the temptation of the doctor who guided the game on the other end of the phone. They missed the big shot, they didn’t manage to bring home the 250,000 euros, but their hearts won. There is no doubt about this. And they will hardly forget what they experienced this evening: it certainly doesn’t happen to everyone to celebrate a wedding on live TV. And to have Stefano De Martino as an exceptional officiant.
