OUR
STORY
INVITATION
We are just two best friends that can't wait to spend forever together. We knew each other as children & lost contact. Over 20 years later, destiny brought us together again; our souls instantly connected & fell in love. Since the moment that we were reunited, as "adults,” we have been inseparable. Our adventurous souls have been on a beautiful journey together, and we are ready for the next chapter of our lives... and so the adventure begins... May we continue to be blessed with truth, love, respect, kindness, and fun.
We’ve created this website as a convenient and interactive way to share all of the important details with you in the lead-up to our wedding.
Thank you for being part of our adventure!
So have fun, have a look around, and don’t forget to RSVP!
MORE ABOUT US
SARAH
Sarah, born to Italian immigrants in Sydney, grew up cherishing her dual heritage. Excelling in school, she pursued a degree in Environmental Science, inspired by Italy’s sustainable traditions and Australia’s natural beauty. Now an urban greening consultant, she bridges innovation with ancestral wisdom. Sarah’s weekends are a whirlwind of cycling, coastal swims, and perfecting Italian recipes with an Aussie twist. Passionate and energetic, she thrives on connecting her roots with her vibrant, modern Australian life.

He studied Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne, focusing on mixed media.

Beyond art, he’s an avid surfer and trail runner, drawing inspiration from nature’s rhythm. His life is a canvas of bold colors and boundless energy.

Our Destination > ItalY
As we are from different parts of the country and have lived in Singapore for our whole relationship, we thought a destination wedding was the only way to go!
We'd be delighted if you could join us at La Masseria Salamina for our wedding weekend. This is a beautifully renovated 18th-century estate set in the stunning Puglia landscape of South East Italy.
We live so far away from a lot of you and don’t get to see you nearly as much as we wish we could, so we’d love to spend the whole weekend celebrating with you.
Prepare your passport guys :)
