It’s official, we’re getting married on June 15th, 2027! Our villa can only hold 42 people so those of you not staying will need to book an Air BnB. We can provide help with finding this if needed. We ask you to please send us confirmation of your flight before the end of January 2027. We understand that things can change within this time so PLEASE let us know if you will not be able to make it. All of the events are listed in the timeline. Excited to celebrate this moment surrounded by all of our love ones.

Giovanni and Melissa met on the 7th floor of the Stevenson building at NIU. In their 8 years of dating, they have experienced so many wonderful moments together including birthdays, anniversaries, graduations from undergrad and graduate school, and finally a beautiful proposal in Paris on March 23, 2025. After getting engaged on their trip to Europe, Melissa and Giovanni loved it so much that they want to bring all of their loved ones back with them. It was truly one of the most memorable trips of their life and they would love for all of you to come enjoy Italy for yourselves. Giovanni will get to celebrate his love for Melissa in the land of his favorite food… pizza. They know it is a lot to travel, but they would truly appreciate each and every one of you to join them in celebrating their love.
