Our story

Two maps, one road

We met as strangers sharing a timetable and have been planning routes together ever since. The coast where we'll marry is the place we keep coming back to.

  1. 2019

    A missed ferry

    Two travellers, one delayed crossing and a long afternoon swapping notes on where to go next.

  2. 2022

    A shared map

    Separate trips became one itinerary, sketched out in pencil on a wrinkled paper map we still keep.

  3. 2025

    A question at sunrise

    On a quiet trail above the sea, Julian asked. Maren said yes before he finished the sentence.

Questions

Good to know

The little things guests usually ask. If something's missing, add it to the notes in your reply.

Are children welcome?

Yes, very much so. Let us know how many little ones are coming and we'll set a kids' table with its own menu.

Can I bring a plus-one?

Your invitation lists everyone included. If you'd like to ask about a guest, just mention it in the notes and we'll get back to you.

Is there a gift registry?

Your company on the coast is the gift. If you'd still like to give something, a contribution toward our next journey would make us very happy.

What if it rains?

The garden has a covered loggia. The ceremony and dinner will move under it, so the plans stay the same either way.

What language is the ceremony in?

The ceremony will be in English, with a few readings in Italian and printed translations on every seat.

Can we take photos?

We're asking for an unplugged ceremony, so please keep phones away during the vows. After that, snap away.
