The invitation

“Two souls, one quiet promise. We invite you to share the day our story becomes a marriage.”

Your presence is the greatest gift — a day made softer by the people we love most.

Counting the moments

Until we say I do

Our story

How we found each other

  1. 2019

    A rainy October

    We met beneath the same borrowed umbrella outside a bookshop in Milan.

  2. 2021

    The first journey

    Two backpacks, one map, and a promise to always take the longer road home.

  3. 2024

    A quiet yes

    On a balcony above the lake, with the lights just coming on across the water.

  4. 2026

    Forever begins

    We would love for you to stand beside us as we say the words out loud.
