It was a rainy afternoon in October when our paths first crossed at a small bookshop in the heart of the city. Isabella was reaching for a copy of Pride and Prejudice on the top shelf, and Alexander offered to help — knocking three other books off in the process.

That clumsy moment turned into coffee, which turned into dinner, which turned into a walk along the river that lasted until the stars came out. We talked about everything — our dreams, our favourite places, the kind of life we wanted to build.

Three years, two countries, and countless adventures later, Alexander proposed at sunset on a quiet beach in Amalfi, with the same worn copy of Pride and Prejudice tucked inside his jacket — a ring hidden between the pages.

Now we're writing our next chapter, and we want you to be part of it.
