Our Story

How it all began

Valentina and Sebastian

It was a rainy evening in Manhattan when their paths first crossed at a dimly lit jazz bar in the West Village. Sebastian was drawn to her laughter; Valentina couldn't ignore his quiet confidence.

Three years, countless late-night conversations, two rescued cats, and one unforgettable rooftop proposal later — here they are, ready to begin the next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.

"In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours."
"I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone."
— J.R.R. Tolkien
