ROME — ITALY

Dear Guests

We are so incredibly fortunate, and deeply excited,  that you will be joining us in Rome to celebrate our union. We do not take lightly the journey, time, and commitment it takes to be there with us. Your presence is the greatest gift, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It feels profoundly meaningful to make this commitment to one another in one of the most holy and magical places we could ever imagine. What makes it truly special, however, is having each of you there to share it with us. A moment like this is only complete when surrounded by the people we love most.

As we look ahead to the coming year, we feel so much joy and anticipation. This wedding is not only a celebration of our marriage, but also a rare and precious opportunity to have all our families and friends together in one place,  something we know doesn’t come around often.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance. We are here to help in any way we can.

With all our love,

Diego & Emma

Dear Family & Friends

We cannot express how much it means to us that you are here to celebrate our wedding weekend. Having the people we love most by our side during such an important moment in our lives is the greatest gift we could ask for.

Because this celebration is so deeply meaningful to us, our heartfelt request is simply to keep any photos
or videos of Diego and I, as well as the big moments of the weekend, off of social media for now. 

We would love to be the ones to share our wedding story first, and once we do,
we will be so excited for you to share your own memories alongside us.

In the meantime, please feel free to capture the weekend and take as many photos as you like.
You are more than welcome to share photos of yourselves, your outfits, and your own experiences
throughout the events! We only ask that you hold onto any photos or videos of Diego and me,
and the major moments, a little longer so we can savor these memories privately together before releasing them publicly.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for respecting this request and for helping us preserve the intimacy of this occasion.
We are so grateful for your love, your support, and the effort you have made to be here. Safe travels, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you.

    we are so grateful and feel so loved that you joined us for the wedding day.

    Please leave whenever you feel comfortable; your presence means the world to us.

Dear Guests,

We kindly ask that our wedding be an adults-only celebration. We want this experience to be as enjoyable and carefree for you as it will be for us, and hope it can be a special night for everyone to relax and fully celebrate.

If your children were old enough to be included, they would have been listed by name on your invitation. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we completely understand if this affects your ability to attend.

Thank you for your love, support, and grace as we create this unforgettable moment together.

With love,

Diego & Emma
