Our story
Three summers, one love — the chapters that brought us to Lake Como.
2018
Our journey began in 2018 — through shy smiles and laughter at a friend's gathering, we found a connection we never expected, and the night ended far later than either of us planned.
2022
After years of memories, a seaside sunset paused the world — one question, full of love and gratitude, and a yes that came before the sentence had even finished.
2026
Surrounded by loved ones, we begin our next chapter — celebrating laughter, lessons, and a love that grows steadier and brighter with every passing year.
The venue
We look forward to welcoming you at Velvet Grove Estate for a memorable evening. A lakeside villa built in 1830 in the heart of Lombardy, with terraced gardens, cypress avenues and views across the water — room for 150 of our favourite people.
The wedding day
Here's how the evening will unfold. Timings are a guide — we'll keep you close as the day goes on.
Join us in the garden as we exchange vows, surrounded by love, nature, and those closest to us.
Celebrate with drinks, laughter, and connection in a welcoming atmosphere filled with joy and elegance.
Delight in fine dining, meaningful conversations, and joyful toasts as we celebrate love and lasting friendship.
