BOSTON — A Massachusetts couple says their fears of missing their upcoming wedding in Italy have been significantly eased after their dog ate the groom-to-be’s passport just over a week before they were scheduled to depart for Europe.
Donato Frattaroli, of South Boston, and his fiancée, Magda Mazri, went to city hall to fill out their intention of marriage forms on Thursday, Aug. 17, just over a week before their flight to Italy — where the couple’s wedding is scheduled for Aug. 31.
Hours after their visit to city hall, a nightmare unfolded at the couple’s home when Chickie, their 1-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever, chewed through multiple pages of Frattaroli’s passport.
“I was pacing back and forth, not really in my right mind,” Frattaroli said. “Luckily, Magda had her wits about her.”
Mazri and Frattaroli said they received help from the offices of U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch and U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, and following a passport appointment, they had on Monday, Frattaroli is expected to receive his new travel document Wednesday — just two days before the couple is set to fly to Italy.
“We’re just really fortunate and optimistic that everything is going to work our way,” Mazri said. “The most important thing is that we get married.”Play Video
Frattaroli said he will be getting a file cabinet or safe so that he can store his important documents in a safe place in the future.
