A tiny village in Rhodes has written to the US Embassy, inviting American actor George Clooney to have his wedding in the region.
The Cultural Association of Paradisi ‘Agia Marina’ sent the invitation to Clooney as a way of showing their appreciation for the actor’s support of the return of the Parthenon Marbles.
In the letter, the region suggested that the villagers from Paradisi should be his best men and part of the bridal party as they consider Clooney as one of them.
“The Environmental, Cultural, Social and Development Association of Paradisi in Rhodes, ‘Agia Marina’, does not forget its gratitude towards George Clooney for his support of Greece regarding the return of the Parthenon Marbles.
“We consider him to be one of us and the same goes for his fiance, who also supported George Clooney in this matter.
“We invite George Clooney to get married in Paradisi in Rhodes, with all men in the village standing in as his best men. The marriage scene from his movie The Guns of Navarone was shot in Paradisi.”
“Paradisi has beautiful churches, Byzantine churches, chapels and very kind people, who would take special care to ensure George Clooney’s wedding remains unforgettable,” the letter said.
