Our Wedding

Our Story It all started with a coffee… In late February 2024, fate (Hinge) brought us together at Architect Coffee Shop. What started as casual conversation quickly turned into something that just clicked. We laughed, we connected, and we left that day feeling like we had known each other for much longer than just a few hours. Our first date was a paint-and-sip night—a perfect blend of creativity, wine, and laughter. By the end of it, we shared our very first hug… and maybe some slightly questionable artwork. Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of inside jokes, spontaneous adventures, and cozy nights filled with deep conversations. Our love grew in the little moments—and the big ones too. One of those big ones happened at Zack’s lake house, a place already filled with special memories. Surrounded by fairy lights, white roses, and the calm of the water, Zack got down on one knee with a beautiful ring and asked Manuela to be his forever. (Spoiler alert: she said yes!) Manuela loves Zack’s passion—for his work, his hobbies, and especially his family. He makes her laugh like no one else, pays attention to the tiniest details, and always finds ways to make life a little sweeter. Zack loves Manuela’s strong character and decisiveness, how she cares for him and kindness towards others, nature and animals. He loves her commitment to family and helping her loved ones and admires her sense of adventure and fun to see the world, her ability to light up every room—and yes, he’s absolutely smitten with how stunning she is. Together, we’re home. And now, we can’t wait to celebrate the beginning of our forever with all of you.
