Edoardo and Federica didn’t have to look far for the heart of their wedding. They found it in the places that already meant something to them—starting in Umbria, where they were both born, raised, and still live today.

When they started planning, they weren’t […]

They met in June 2015 after a mix of timing and coincidence placed them in the same apartment. Katie was studying abroad and needed […]

A Riva Boat Arrival, Black-Tie Style, and Lake Views: This Villa Porta Vow Renewal Had It All

Years after growing up on the same street, a single date at Cozy Mel’s in El Segundo changed everything. “We have literally been inseparable ever since,” they shared.
