Donato Frattaroli, of South Boston, and his fiancée went to city hall to fill out the intention of marriage forms on Thursday, just over a week before they are set to fly out 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 unfolded when Chickie, the couple's 1-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever, chewed through multiple pages of Frattaroli's passport.
Frattaroli and his fiancée are now contacted state officials to help get them both to the altar in Italy in time.
"I'm just a little stressed," Frattaroli said Saturday. "Luckily, Congressman (Stephen) Lynch's office and Sen. (Ed) Markey's office have been super responsive. They've been in touch, at least with me and the State Department, to try to expedite things and get a new passport. Keep my fingers crossed, and hopefully, everything will work itself out."
