our story
11 years, forever to go
From movies to music to dancing and traveling, these two souls have grown together as an inseparable pair, with the strength of their bond shared through a collection of “firsts”, alongside subtle glances and synchronized rhythm of their love and laughter.
As they continue to navigate the journey of life together, James and Sofia have now reached a momentous chapter... the celebration of their union in matrimony.
Join us as we share our vows in the City of Love, not just as a promise for the future, but as a testament to the rich history we have already written together.
