Our Story

Where two worlds
became one

It began on an ordinary Tuesday in Florence — a gallery, a shared glance over a Botticelli painting, and a conversation that stretched long past closing time. Three years, four continents, and one perfect question later, we are ready to celebrate the greatest chapter yet.

We invite you — our dearest family and friends — to witness our union and share in the joy of this extraordinary day.
