Our Wedding

Anton and Mercer first met as fourteen-year-olds in Rome during their freshman year of high school. From the very beginning, they formed a close friendship, unaware that their journey together was just beginning. Despite living in different countries, their paths continued to intertwine, and their friendship remained strong. Eight years later, when they finally found themselves living in the same country and city again, their true love story began. Since that day, Anton and Mercer have been inseparable, discovering new reasons to fall in love with each other every day. Now, they invite you to join them in celebrating the next chapter of their love story in the beautiful Tuscan countryside.
