Italy · A Retreat Wedding
Sanaa & Bryan
We wanted an experience, not a wedding.

How it started
Our Story
Gili Air, Indonesia
We met on a retreat. The kind of trip where you leave your real life at the door and actually breathe for a few days. Bryan showed up, Sanaa was hosting, and somewhere between the ocean and the quiet — something happened.
"Neither of us was looking. Which is probably exactly why it worked."
A year later, Bryan proposed — on another retreat, in that same spirit. It started in that world, so it made sense to bring everyone we love into it too.
Bryan & Sanaa
An experience,
not a wedding
Most of the people we love have never been on a retreat. This is our chance to share that with them — the slowness, the connection, the feeling of being somewhere beautiful with nowhere else to be.
"This is our world. We wanted you to actually step into it."
Our families come from Kuwait, the Dominican Republic, and everywhere in between. Three nights in Italy, all of us together. No wallet moments, no stress. Just show up.
Three nights.
One villa.
Everyone together.
We've found our dream venue in Italy — a private villa in Italy. We're taking over the whole place. Every room, every moment of the weekend is ours. Breakfast every morning, a welcome dinner, dinners through the weekend, and an international brunch to send you off — plus open bar throughout.
"Your only job is to show up. Everything else is handled."
From the welcome dinner on Saturday night to the farewell breakfast on Monday morning — it's all taken care of. No wallet moments. No logistics to figure out. Just three days of being fully present with the people who matter.

Best airports
Stay the night in Verona
We strongly recommend arriving Friday, September 19 and spending the night in Verona. It gives you time to settle in, beat jet lag, and explore one of Italy's most beautiful cities before the weekend begins. Romeo and Juliet's city — it's worth a night.
We pick you up in Verona
A private group shuttle will depart from a central pickup point in Verona on Saturday morning. Exact time and location will be confirmed closer to the date — but plan to be ready by late morning. The shuttle is included in all packages, both ways.
"Get yourself to Verona on Friday. We handle everything from Saturday morning on."

Gifts
Your presence at this weekend is the gift — truly. We mean that. But for those who'd like to contribute something more, we have one ask.
Family Planning Fund
We're building something together — a home, a family, a life. If you'd like to contribute to that next chapter, we've set up a fund for exactly that. No registry, no list. Just your love, put toward something that lasts.
