A nice church in the middle of the lake
There are 99 steps up to the church and during traditional wedding ceremonies the husband is expected to carry his bride up the steps and the bride should to be silent during this process.
There is also a bell which one can ring for luck so I do not know whether the groom rings this before the day!
