Our Wedding

To absolutely no one's surprise, Kat and Gian met at a party. 

Kat's telling...

"We first met at my house in Boulder in 2018. My roommates and I were throwing a birthday party for one of their boyfriends who worked with Gian at The Rio. At first I was like, 'Okayy who is that pulling up in a BMW?', but then Steve got out of the car and immediately pooped in my front lawn. A while later we were paired up to play a game of cornhole, which we lost because I suck at cornhole. After the game he took off his sunglasses and I saw the baby blues for the first time!!! I said I liked his blue eyes and he said he liked my green eyes. Then I made him take a shot with me and now he is stuck taking shots with me for the rest of his life. "

Gian's telling...

"﻿The first time I met Kat was at a summertime barbeque in Boulder. When I walked into the party and looked around the only thing I could see was her amongst the crowd. All I wanted to do was go up and introduce myself to her but I decided to play it cool. I finally worked up the courage to ask her to play corn hole with me as a way to talk to her and the rest is history. ﻿Right then and there we hit it off and I've never wanted to spend time with anyone but her ever since.&nbsp;"

Our Story

✈︎ Amerigo Vespucci Airport, Florence (FLR)

We recommend flying into Florence (FLR), as it is much more affordable, offers more flight options, and is an easy 45-minute car or train ride away. <a href="https://www.aeroporto.firenze.it/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here for FLR.</a>

✈︎ Pisa International Airport, Pisa (PSA)

Flying directly into Pisa is the most convenient, though it is typically much more expensive due to limited availability. <a href="https://www.pisa-airport.com/it/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here for PSA. </a>

Travel & Hotels

Villa Ravano traces its origins to the early 16th century, a period of flourishing Renaissance culture in Pisa and throughout Tuscany. Built shortly after 1500, the villa’s symmetrical façade, classic rectangular form, and modest yet noble proportions reflect the architectural sensibilities of post-medieval Pisa, where harmony, proportion, and understated grandeur defined the period. As indicated by the noble coat of arms that still crowns the entrance, the villa stands as a quiet witness to centuries of Italian history, art, and family life. At the turn of the 20th century, around 1900, the villa was thoughtfully expanded to accommodate the evolving needs of its residents, reflecting both architectural continuity and the refinement of that era. In 2006, Villa Ravano underwent a comprehensive restoration, carefully preserving its historical character while enhancing its comfort and elegance for the modern age.
