N° 03 — Our Story

How we got here

Seven years, three flats, one very patient sourdough starter and a question asked on the walls of Lucca. Here’s our story so far, in four short chapters.

Chapter I

How we met

A rainy Saturday in a little London bookshop. We reached for the same book, laughed about it, and by the time the rain stopped his hand had found mine — and never let go. ❤️

Chapter II

Laughing through it all

Burnt pancakes, wrong turns, rainy picnics and a flat with a wobbly table. Two years in, the best part is still the same: laughing together until our cheeks hurt. ❤️

Chapter III

And then, forever

On the old walls of Lucca he asked the question, and she laughed, cried and said yes before he had finished. Now we can’t wait to say “I do” with all of you beside us. ❤️

Chapter IV

A home of our own

A tiny flat with a big window, a slightly wobbly kitchen table and a sourdough starter we named Gerald. Sunday mornings became our favourite ritual.
