Celebrate with us!
We met as little 13 and 14 year olds in 9th grade in our little high school friend group. Fast forward to the end of high school and our bond grew so strong. There was something that clicked with us and we fell in love with each other, each other’s families and cultures and we started imagining our future together! Now 7 years later we are planning our wedding ceremony very much in love and falling for each other more every day. We are so excited for you all to join us in celebrating our love. We love and appreciate you all so much! See you in Italy!! ❤️

Travel
Rental Car
Vincenzo Bellini Catania Airport
We recommend you fly to Catania airport and rent a car from the airport. Catania is the airport closest to the town we will get married in. There is the airport of Palermo that you could travel to but it will be further away, however, it’s a beautiful city and it is the capital of Sicily!
Travel Note
Things to keep in mind!
We recommend you check out the opening and closing times for restaurants because Europe is weird with times! Some restaurants open only for dinner time starting from 8pm. Supermarkets typically open from around 9:30am-1:30pm and then 4:30-8:30pm because they close for lunch!

Baia D'Oro Hotel

Hotel
Al Faro
