Alexandra and Alessandro

Our Fun Activities: Going to the theater, concerts, and shows. Thrifting for home decor and antiquing. Trying new restaurants. Going for long walks and hikes and spending time in nature. Doing creative things like photography, painting, cooking, and gardening. Going to the movies or having movie nights at home. We also love to travel and have been to 10 countries together.

Favorite Meals: Sushi is one of our favorite foods to eat together. Alexandra loves loaded baked potatoes with caviar, and Alessandro loves Tiramisu. We try new food carts and restaurants every week and enjoy exploring new cuisines.

Can't Live Without: For Alexandra, it's our family and music. For Alessandro, it's our family and coffee.

Favorite Place: Cinque Terre in Italy is a place that holds a special place in my heart, as it was a surprise trip arranged by Alessandro when we first met. I had saved photos of it on Pinterest, but I had not researched and did not know where it was. Alessandro planned the trip without knowing about my Pinterest board, and it was an unexpected surprise.

Best Day Ever: Our wedding, although not everything went according to plan. It was supposed to be outdoors and it rained, the food truck broke down, Alessandro’s barber was late, and many other unexpected events happened. We were still able to enjoy every moment of it and make it a very special and beautiful day. The photographer submitted the photos of our wedding to a wedding magazine, and our wedding was featured with our love story as inspiration for other couples planning their wedding. It was a reminder that love and joy can shine through even in the face of unforeseen challenges, making our wedding day all the more memorable and meaningful.

Favorite Family Traditions: Decorating for holidays, going to the movies on Thanksgiving, The White Album Xmas Show at Alberta Rose Theater, going to Broadway shows every year and going all out for birthdays and special occasions.
