Arbus, the ceremony drags on and the parking disc expires: fines for the newlyweds and their guests.

Cars fined during the wedding ceremony. In Arbus, along Via Libertà, in front of the parish church of San Sebastiano, the least welcome gift for the newlyweds, Sara Largiu of Arbus and Marco Corridori of Villacidro, 31, and 38. Unaware that, outside, the municipal police officers were helping to make the day unforgettable with an unexpected gift: a fine of approximately 50 euros to about twenty guests, including the newlyweds' car: they had been parked in the parking zone with a parking disc and the ticket had expired.

Bitterness and disappointment

"We trusted the City Council's promise that they would clarify and do everything possible to cancel the fine," the groom explains. The case seemed resolved, but then the notifications arrived. "I don't know how many minutes the ticket had expired. Given the circumstances, it could have been avoided; a little understanding."

The Municipality

Mayor Paolo Salis expressed his regret: "From a human perspective and as a mayor, I'm sorry for what happened. Laws and road signs must be respected, even when they appear harsh and unfair."
