Our Story

How We Met

Despite that we were born and raised a thousand kilometers apart, and both lived in Milan, our story began in our dearest city in the world: Barcelona.
On a sunny afternoon in October 2017, our eyes met for the first time in the corridors of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise office, but it took us three months to utter our first words.
From the first actual date, from one salsa step to the next, it only took a short time to realize that we would be living a life together.
After an overwhelming start, we strengthened our union on the Barcelona - Geneva axis - Covid19 quarantine was the true proof of concept for our long-lasting relationship. 
Tired of endless waits at the airport, we finally reunited in our beloved Switzerland in August 2020.
Since then, new and old friends, new interests, astonishing new professional challenges, and countless stimuli have been coloring our days.

 

The Proposal

Those who know Michaela know she loves experience gifts and surprises. In July 2022 Vito secretly planned her birthday celebration. Michaela was  thrilled about the surprise horse ride in the swiss highlands and couldn't imagine what would come next. Together with a special friend's support (obrigado Hugo), Vito planned a romantic picnic and popped the question surrounded only by nature. Michaela gave a big smile and said yes! They celebrated that special day with a champagne toast and hearty laughters!
