WEDDING PHOTO

April 9, 2025 – Villa Erba, Lecco, Lake Como

It began with sunlight breaking through the clouds over Lake Como, as if the sky itself had been holding its breath for this moment. The day before had been cold, wet and grey — but on the wedding day, everything changed. The lake shimmered, the air softened, and a quiet kind of magic settled in.
Fifty guests arrived from across the world, a living mosaic of accents, cultures, and stories — united to witness the merging of two very different worlds.
He is bold, expressive, Mediterranean in spirit. She is graceful, understated, quietly and undeniably powerful. He dreams in vivid colours; she grounds those dreams with calm precision. On paper, opposites — in reality, a perfect rhythm. This wedding wasn’t just a union; it was a celebration of contrast, of complement, of how difference can become harmony.
Lake Como was his dream — dramatic, passionate, unapologetically grand. She had imagined something quieter, softer. But somehow, in the middle of it all, they found spaces that reflected both their hearts.
She moved through the day with elegance and strength, hiding the fact that she was bedridden just before — kept upright by sheer will, green juice, and determination. He, the emotionally visible one, nearly buckled at the sight of her walking down the aisle.
There were moments that felt scripted by something higher: a bouquet landing at the feet of her radiant nearly 80-year-old aunty. A surprise tenor serenading spell-bound guests during dinner. A pre-wedding boat ride to Bellagio, where strangers became family, and family became friends. The sun lingering just a little longer than expected — like it, too, didn’t want the day to end.
More than a wedding, it was a glimpse into the life they are building: extraordinary, grounded in love, full of bold dreams and quiet devotion.
A dream, yes — but one with depth, warmth, and the undeniable truth that sometimes, the most beautiful stories are written when two very different worlds unite into one.
