From Francesca Di Meglio:
From the time I was 12 years old, when I earned my first byline in a middle school newspaper, I knew I wanted to be a journalist. There was something about seeing my name in black and white and interviewing all sorts of people with all sorts of stories. The dreams I had for my career started coming true as I took on jobs at historical publications and received more bylines.
My personal goals started to become a reality in 2004, when I met my husband Antonio on the island of Ischia, where both sides of my family originated. I am finally getting to use all the advice and tips that I reported on relationships and marriage in the years before I met Antonio. And I look forward to sharing the scoop - and learning a few new tricks, too - with an audience of fellow newlyweds.
