We met at Istituto Marangoni, where I was working in social media and Stefano had been invited as a guest speaker to share the story behind his brand, Mess of Blues. What began as a simple introduction quickly felt like something more. I even gave him two of my business cards—just to be sure he wouldn’t forget me—but somehow, the hint took a little time to land. Three months later, he finally reached out and asked me out, and from that moment on, everything just fell into place. What started as a missed hint turned into something we’re endlessly grateful for—a love story that was simply meant to be.

On a weekend getaway to the Keys, Stefano had originally planned to propose at a scenic bridge overlook—but after Isabella unknowingly distracted him, he missed the exit and the plan changed. Instead, he chose a slow, quiet morning in our hotel room. I had no idea it was coming, which made it even more special. I was completely natural, no makeup, just relaxed, and the moment felt so peaceful, cozy, and genuine—perfect in a way we never could have planned.

We're lucky to have everything we need. If you'd like to celebrate with us in another way, we'd be grateful for a contribution toward our next chapter.
