Our Final Send-off
Our Reason Why
We will soon journey to Italy to exchange our vows amidst its timeless beauty, however, we know that the heart of any wedding lies not only in the place, but in the people who have walked beside us.
Before we depart for this once-in-a-lifetime moment, we wish to gather with those dearest to us—family and friends who have shaped our story—to share in a joyful farewell.
We invite you to join us in California for a three-day sendoff celebration: a time to savor laughter, raise a glass, and embrace the love that surrounds us. This weekend is not simply a goodbye, but a way to carry the warmth of your presence with us across the sea—into our wedding day, and into the life we are about to begin together.
Your love is woven into every part of our story, and it would mean the world to celebrate with you before we go.

Love on Lockdown
The story of a romance that bloomed against all odds during the pandemic, when the world was closed but hearts were wide open. What began as virtual connection soon turned into a love story for the ages.
