Our Story

It all began in the halls of the Lycée Franco-Finlandais in Munkkivuori, Helsinki. We were just 10 years old when we first met, becoming inseparable best friends. Little did we know that this friendship would one day grow into something so much more. Fast forward to 2016: after years of laughter, shared adventures, and countless memories, our bond evolved into a love story. From then on, we've been each other's greatest adventure and biggest cheerleaders.

One of the most magical chapters of our journey happened on the 30th of December 2021. Under the starry skies of the Swiss Alps, surrounded by breathtaking views, the question was asked—and answered with a resounding yes. It was a night we’ll cherish forever.

Italy holds a special place in our hearts. Over the years, we’ve fallen in love with its beauty, culture, and charm, exploring its treasures together on our travels. When we first visited the Palazzo Principi Lanza in 2024, it felt like the perfect setting for the next chapter of our love story.

We can’t wait to celebrate our big day with all of you in a place that means so much to us. Here's to love, friendship, and the journey ahead!

The Venue

We are thrilled to celebrate our wedding at the historic Palazzo Principi Lanza, a stunning example of baroque architecture located in San Nicola Arcella, Calabria, Italy. Overlooking the picturesque Gulf of Policastro, this 18th-century palace was originally the summer residence of the Spinelli family, renowned for their military and literary contributions.

 

The palazzo's elegant design features local materials like Grisolia and San Lucido stone, with grand windows that flood the interiors with natural light. Its rich history and breathtaking views make it a perfect setting for our special day.

We look forward to sharing this enchanting location with you as we embark on our new journey together.
