With a floral arch, dangling lights, and earthy decor that uplifted the natural world around them, the pair says the wedding felt like a dream.How They MetThe couple met in a disco five years earlier. They danced together but never exchanged numbers. By chance (or by fate) they ran into each other again in Florence.“When I went out of the restaurant and saw two girls walking across the street,” says Veronika, “I didn’t remember that I had already danced with that girl, but I wanted to know her at all costs, while Giulia recognized me immediately.”For the next few years, they seemed to keep running into each other, until finally, they started dating. They got engaged on New Year’s Eve, while fireworks exploded above them.“I don’t remember who was the first to propose,” Veronika says, “We probably both said it at the same time!”What Do You Love About Each Other?Giulia: I can\u2019t point out the exact date I fell in love with Veronika\u2026but I can confirm that I always knew in my heart she was the one. I keep telling her everyday, I can\u2019t believe it\u2026 how incredibly beautiful she is, from morning to dawn. She is beautiful even when she is angry.Veronika: We have this little playfulness in our daily life, that I keep telling Giulia: “Did I tell you on these last five minutes that I love you?” And she says: “No, you didn\u2019t tell me\u2026that you are madly in love with me.” Or I tell her: “My love, it\u2019s been already 5 minutes that you don\u2019t say you love me.”Giulia: Veronika likes esoteric things. She believes in crystals and energy, our house is full of special rocks and crystals. She attached some type of rock or crystal to our water bottles, and I am amazed to realize that she transforms normal water into incredibly good water using her energy. Everything that relates to this universe reminds me of her.Veronika: Giulia has introduced me to the literary world. She is a poet. When I see books, I immediately think about her. I can\u2019t imagine my life without Giulia. Now that I know her, I will never let her go.Search our directory of LGBTQ+ inclusive vendors.jQuery(document).ready(function($) {SABAI.init($(\"#sabai-embed-wordpress-shortcode-2\"));});                                                                                                                                                                                        Select categoryBar ServicesBeauty, Grooming and HealthBusiness Owner Self-Identification-Asian-owned-Black-owned-Immigrant-owned-Latinx-owned-LGBTQ+-Neurodivergent-Woman-owned businessCateringCeremony MusicCounseling and TherapyDance LessonsDestination WeddingsEqually Wed Pro LGBTQ+ Inclusive CertifiedEvent RentalsFashionFavors and GiftsFlowers and Floral DesignHotelsJewelryLGBTQ+ Inclusive and AffirmingLighting and DecorMusic, DJs and EntertainmentOfficiantsPhotographyPlanningPlatinum Wedding VendorsRestaurantsStationeryTransportationTravelUnique ServicesVenuesVideographyWedding Cakes & Sweets                                                                                                    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {        $('#sabai-embed-wordpress-shortcode-2 .sabai-directory-search input').keydown(function(e){        if (e.keyCode == 13) {              $(\"#sabai-embed-wordpress-shortcode-2 .sabai-directory-search-submit .sabai-btn\").click();
