Getting Married overseas and worried about the euro

Hi all,
Me & my Fiancee are getting married in Tuscany in July.

So far we've paid out about €3,000 in deposits etc.

At the min things are looking good as the euros falling daily we're nearly thinking of buying cash now in small chunks just in case it goes back up.

What happens if the euro crashes?.. Could the currency become worthless?

The contract we have with our villa (with an Italian owner) has a price in euros.. If the euro collapses... Could the villa owners put the price up?

Thanks loads :-)

    Yup. It could happen.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    There will not a "crash" before July, the exchange rate may go to 1.28/£1 if Greece do not sort themselves out after the June election.

    Six/twelve months from now might be a different story. So relax and stop worrying.
