How It Began

Our Story

A journey of two hearts that found each other across sunlit cobblestones and quiet evenings.

Autumn 2019

The First Meeting

We met at a small cafe in Rome during a mutual friend's birthday gathering. Daniel spilled espresso on Sophia's book — and spent the rest of the evening apologising by telling increasingly terrible jokes. She laughed anyway.

The First Date

A walk through the Borghese Gardens, gelato in hand. The conversation never stopped. By sunset, they both knew this was something rare — something real. He walked her home and she invited him in for tea that lasted until 2am.

The Proposal

Back in Florence — the city that felt like theirs — Daniel got down on one knee at the Ponte Vecchio just as the golden hour light spilled across the Arno. She said yes before he finished the sentence.
