Our Story

Every love story is beautiful, but ours is our favorite.

2018

First Meeting

We met in Milan at a dinner organized by our mutual friend Ryan, during our third year of university. Although we knew of each other before, that night was the first proper conversation. We sat across from each other and talked all night.

First Date

Our first date happened the following week at a beautiful bar with cool cocktails where we talked until closing time. We started seeing each other every day after that, marking the start of something special.

First Trip Together

We traveled to Rome for a long weekend. Walking around the Colosseum and the Vatican, shoving amazing pasta and gelato down, and falling deeper in love.

Lockdown in Mauritius

We were really fortunate and spent a few months in Mauritius locked down together and enjoying Sandro's amazing cooking while playing thousands of hours of Misery, Scopa and Poker. After returning, we resumed Milan–Parma medium distance, both graduating, and starting work, life began feeling more adult.

Long Distance Relationship

Eventually, Lorenzo moved to London, turning the relationship into long distance. We met up between London and Milan, and also traveled together to Istanbul, Barcelona, and other spots around the globe.

Our First Home

Pelin moved to London, and we moved in together. We made this new house a home, decorating it and getting furniture together. Lightning, Lorenzo's beagle, became our dog and even though he won't be at the wedding he is really special to us.
