The Why
To affirm our future community and the life we aspire to.
This gathering, while a celebration of our union, is also intended to be a meaningful and memorable experience for each of you. Nothing would give us greater delight than to foster deep connections between you and spark inspiration of future possibilities. And when the time comes for you to depart, we hope you’ll also carry home an understanding and embodiment of the values we seek to enshrine in the community we are building going forward.

Place:
When we discovered São Lourenço do Barrocal amidst the timeless peace and beauty of the Portuguese countryside, we knew immediately we’d found the perfect setting to celebrate our love with our community. For over two centuries, this family-owned estate has cultivated a sense of belonging and harmony with the land. Surrounded by olive groves, animals, vineyards, and ancient holm oaks, the estate has been lovingly restored into a luxurious yet understated hotel, offering an intimate connection to the Alentejo landscape. Its commitment to preserving history and tradition resonates deeply with our own values. From the moment of our initial arrival, we felt as if we’d walked into a warm, familiar embrace. We hope you’ll feel the same way.
This special weekend we welcome our global community. We’re so blessed with friends and family from all walks of life, living all around the world, and all extraordinary individuals. We’re excited for you to meet each other! This intimate farmstay weekend will have moments for us to come together as a larger group, and we'll facilitate connecting you through thoughtful seating arrangements. But you'll also be invited to choose from a variety of daily experiences on offer, and we hope in this way you’ll meet new people and discover common interests. Our fondest wish is that over the time we have together, you'll enjoy and inspire one another and come away with new friends and shared paths.
