Our Story

Our Story

The moments that made us, us.

A Summer in Florence

The First Glance

I was studying abroad.

He was sketching in the Boboli Gardens. He asked if I could move — I was standing in his light. I told him I was the light. He laughed, and somewhere between that laugh and our first espresso, I knew.

Long distance love

Long Distance

New York to Milan

Six thousand miles and a seven-hour time difference.

We learned that love isn't about being in the same room — it's about being in the same story. FaceTime at 2 AM became my favorite part of the day.

“Closing the Distance”

Marco moved to New York.

Our first apartment was tiny, the radiator was loud, and we'd never been happier. Sunday mornings at the corner café, walks through the Village, cooking together every night.

The Proposal

He took me back to Florence — to the exact bench in the Boboli Gardens where we met.

This time, he wasn't sketching. He was kneeling. Through my tears I managed one word: yes.

“Santorini”

And so we return to the Mediterranean — where our story began.

Surrounded by the Aegean Sea, whitewashed walls, and everyone we love, we say the words we've been living for years.
