15 Years Together.
Still on the same path.

We signed the papers. We moved continents. We raised three amazing humans.
Now, we are finally keeping our promise to celebrate together.

The Kids
A decade in Motion

Better Late
Than Never

On April 27th, 2016, we signed our marriage papers at a courthouse in Manhattan, NYC. It was a quiet Thursday morning with exactly one witness, Olli, and two other friends, Fede and Jacopo—whom we had met in a completely random way (ask us for the story over a glass of wine). We were (very!) young, and while uncertainty was all around us, we knew we had each other.

Since then, we have moved across continents, raised three chaotic children, and built a home away from home. Through every move and every milestone, we never forgot our promise to eventually throw the celebration we skipped. So, pack your bags! We are finally gathering the village to toast the ten-year journey that brought us here. Think of it as a long dinner party followed by a night on the dance floor that has been a decade in the making.

TL; DR

A decade of miles, moves, and three kids later, we are finally throwing the party that honors the journey and the people who walked it with us.

The Game Plan

Eat, Drink, Compete

We've curated a weekend that is 40% sentimental, 40% competitive, and 20% carbohydrate-based.

Stuff you need to know.

Beat the Heat

It’s July in Tuscany. We want you cool and comfortable. We're leaning into landscape colors: Sage, Sand, and White.

Men: Linen or cotton in light tones. We recommend no dark suits or tuxedos—you will regret it in the sun.

Women: Flowy dresses and breathable fabrics. DO NOT wear stilettos. The ground is grass. You will sink. We will laugh.

No Gifts

We don't own a toaster, and we definitely don't need one. We have a house full of stuff and hearts full of gratitude.

The bar is open, the food is plenty, and your presence is the only gift we want.

Seriously. No gifts.
