Mario has been employed as a pastry chef in some of London's famous hotels after arriving in England three-and-a-half weeks ago.
The couple now plan a honeymoon in Blackpool following to trip to Stockton-on-Tees to see Alice's Aunty Mabel.
Mario and Alice indicated that they haven't planned a big family, but would like to hear the patter of tiny feet to complete their family.
Good luck.
