"Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures.”

L . Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

A wedding is more than just a celebration of marriage; it is a celebration of true love. It is a moment that shines a light on the two of you, creating gestures and symbols that elevate your emotions and honor the fact that you’ve found "the one"—your partner for all of life’s adventures, with whom you’ll write every new chapter of your story.


An adventure called Life

This was the beautiful journey of Giada and Gianluca, and it’s how they felt when they first married in Italy many years ago. From that moment, they knew they had found their perfect match, someone to share every adventure with. Together, they turned life into a true adventure, discovering new corners of the world, sharing travel tips, and inspiring others with their romantic lifestyle through their online presence.


Deeply in love, more so with each passing day, they cherish every moment together. They hold fast to a beautiful tradition: renewing their vows every year on their anniversary in a different part of the world. From breathtaking destinations like Hawaii, Indonesia, Africa, and Polynesia, they chose this year a place deeply meaningful to them: Scotland.

Accompanied by their two sweet Cocker Spaniels, they travel to this land of magic and mystery, exploring the wild beauty of the Highlands and the stunning landscapes.


Romantic and intimate ceremony at Duns Castle

Their intimate elopement took place in the enchanting setting of Duns Castle, a living piece of history in the Scottish Borders. Here, they once again blessed their union in true Scottish tradition, including tying the knot, the stone ritual, and the whisky shot—authentic touches led by an incredible master of ceremonies. Surrounded by the castle’s timeless walls, they felt like characters in their own romantic fairytale.


It was an honor to witness this extraordinary story, a reminder that life is an adventure, every day matters, and true love truly lasts forever.
