Federica & Paul

It’s been a crazy love story, one that, honestly, neither of us saw coming. When we first met in an MBA class at SDA Bocconi University in Milan, we were mostly focused on getting through exams, juggling busy schedules, touring the city and making it to all the parties with our new found friends. Falling in love definitely wasn’t part of the MBA plan. But then a random application for an exchange program in Brazil changed everything, and what started as a friendship to explore a new country turned into a lifetime partnership. Fast forward through countless study sessions, one MBA, many parties, lots of travels, and a relocation to Johannesburg… here we are. We’ve built a life full of adventure, laughter, and a shared love for good food, travels, and the incredible people around us (that’s you!). So now, after a few years, many flights, four apartments, and one unforgettable proposal later, we’re inviting you, our favourite people, to join us in the mountains to celebrate the most life-changing decision we have ever made!

If you know Paul, you know he’s secretly a hopeless romantic, a little drone-and-tech obsessed, and meticulous about every detail. And if you know Fede, you know she’s happiest surrounded by family, good food, and great wine. So really, there couldn’t have been a more “us” kind of proposal. Paul planned a surprise weekend at the sister farm of one of Fede’s favourite South African wineries, tucked away in the Tuscan hills. During some “drone footage” (that many of you have definitely seen by now), he dropped to one knee. And just when Fede thought the surprises were over, both families appeared, driving from Rome and flying in from Barcelona and Johannesburg, for a sun-soaked weekend under the Tuscan sky, filled with long tables, laughter, cooking classes, and lifetime memories.
