Maria & Matteo

How we met...
Midsummer 2017, Matteo and I met through some great mutual friends at a local beer festival. We hit it off after copious amounts of dancing and weissbier and a couple of days later he invited me for the first of many dinners at his family home. I was swept away with cappelletti, affetati and a walk through the vineyard behind his home. After dinner we took a drive to the nearby Brisighella, which has since become a special place for us. This first date was on July 27th 2017, and we are so excited to celebrate with you all 7 years later.

For the first year, we lived 4 hours away as I was working on Lake Iseo in Northern Italy. It was tough, but when we got to see each other every 2/3 weeks, every moment became more meaningful. I finally made the decision to take a leap of faith and move to Emilia-Romagna.

Since then we have grown together, learning each others cultures, traditions, and having great craic along the way

We've spent the last few years travelling, being massive foodies, spending time with loved ones and enjoying the the simple things together.

Matteo proposed in front of Schönbrunn palace, during our trip to the Vienna Christmas markets. A magical evening full of happy tears and mulled wine!
